The researched indicated that 40% of all homeowners were still motivated to make eco-friendly changes if it meant saving money on energy bills.
Jonathan Stinton, head of intermediary relationships at Coventry for intermediaries said: “Energy efficient home improvements don’t just give people a way to reduce their energy bills today, they also provide a chance to future-proof properties for tomorrow’s market.
“Every energy efficiency tweak has the potential to boost a home’s resale or rental appeal, meaning energy efficiency isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a tangible asset which can add value to a home.”
