The end of the year is fast approaching and with it, a price rise in energy bills. As they say – you have to spend money to make money! Although it’s not entirely true – there are ways you can cut your heating costs without affecting productivity or service quality in your church. Here are some tips on how to lower your church heating bills ahead of the next price rise:

Energy efficiency is another key way to lower energy bills. Insulation can be a simple cost-effective way to cut your energy usage and heating bills – plus it will make your church a more welcoming and comfortable place to be.

Step one: Call in the experts

All of this is easier said than done, but if you’re serious about saving money on heating costs upfront, then it’s worth hiring an expert who will conduct a thorough survey of your building’s current level of insulation and recommend ways to increase it. This may involve installing new insulation materials in some areas or replacing old ones entirely with more efficient versions (such as mineral wool). It may also include sealing up any gaps that could allow draughts inside the church – so it’s important not just for reducing heat loss but also for safety reasons too!

Step two: Hit the switch

Another way churches can reduce their environmental impact is by switching off lights when they don’t need them – especially during services when there are dozens of people milling around without anything else taking up power consumption elsewhere in the building! This might seem like common sense but sometimes we forget how many lights actually operate at any given time; some places only dimmed all their lights while someone was giving a sermon last Sunday night when really they could have turned them off completely beforehand…

Churches are often warmer than they need to be due to draughts coming in through doors and windows. Upgrading the glazing in your grounds buildings such as community centres, halls and chapels can reduce heat loss through windows by half – plus you’ll reduce noise pollution too!

When selecting the right glazing for your church building, it’s important that you first consider what type of glass will best suit your needs. For example, some churches may want their building to be completely double-glazed for extra insulation; whereas others might opt for single-glazing if it suits their design or budget better.

Lighting accounts for up to 30% of a church’s electricity costs and yet it is one of the easiest things to improve.

Lighting accounts for up to 30% of a church’s electricity costs and yet it is one of the easiest things to improve. LEDs can reduce electricity costs by up to 90% over traditional lighting. They last longer, have improved lumen maintenance and are more reliable.

The benefits don’t stop there! LEDs can also be used in motion sensors so that they only turn on when needed, which will save you money on your electricity bill too.

By replacing all your incandescent bulbs with LED equivalents, you’ll see a significant reduction in your monthly bills as well as an improvement in the appearance of your church’s interior spaces.
