flag A 2% rise in the UK’s energy price cap starting October 2024 is increasing bills for millions of households. flag To help reduce costs, consumer group Which? flag recommends using affordable thermal imaging cameras—available for as little as £15—to detect heat loss from drafts, poor insulation, or faulty windows and doors. flag These devices highlight temperature differences, enabling targeted improvements like weather stripping or insulation. flag While not a substitute for major upgrades, they offer a low-cost way to identify inefficiencies. flag Some councils and organizations like Octopus Energy and the Library of Things offer loan programs, though availability varies. flag The advice aims to help households cut energy use and save money amid rising winter heating costs.
