Green Living
Muir has recently published Green Living – our guide to helping you save money and be more environmentally friendly.
With prices for gas and electricity increasing every year, there is now an even greater need to try and reduce the amount of energy we use.
It is thought that by making a few simple changes to the way we live, we can save around £200 a year on our energy bills.
Your Green Living guide will go through how you can save energy in different areas of your home, how to monitor energy use, deal with condensation and mould, as well as other ways that you can save money whilst doing your bit for the environment.
