FIREPLACE HEATSAVER SPRINGS LOWER FUEL BILLS FOR BRITISH HOUSEHOLDS

News that energy firms are set to hit hard-pressed households with this year's second hike in utility bills could hardly be less welcome as winter weather lingers on into spring. But help is at hand in the form of a deceptively simple device from Wakefield-based business, Environmental Fireplace Solutions. The Fireplace Heatsaver could save the average household a small fortune on its heating bill - and cut its carbon footprint by as much as half a ton - in just one year.

Over seven million properties in the UK have fireplaces which act as a 'vacuum cleaner', constantly sucking warm air up the chimney and out of expensively heated rooms, leaving cold air behind which then has to be reheated. The Fireplace Heatsaver is a lightweight and totally transparent acrylic shield that sits in front of an open fireplace or fitted gas fire when it is not in use, preventing heat from escaping up the chimney.

Launched in January 2008, the demand for Fireplace Heatsavers is growing daily, and the energy saving product has also been commended in Environment UK Magazine as a "simple and effective way to cut your outgoings and protect the environment".

Alex Stacey, editor of Environment UK Magazine, says: "The Fireplace Heatsaver epitomises the old adage that the simplest ideas are the best. (It) is the best thing I never knew I needed. I am convinced that if this product had a money-back guarantee, no one would ever claim it."

Environmental Fireplace Solutions has applied for a UK patent for the Fireplace Heatsaver, along with product recognition status from the Energy Saving Trust.

The company is in discussion with a number of bodies including Ofgem where it is seeking to have the Fireplace Heatsaver incorporated into the Carbon Emission Reduction Target scheme 2008-2011. Environmental Fireplace Solutions is also supported by business incubator, West Yorkshire Ventures and Green Homes Concierge, a service for London homes owners helping to make their homes more energy efficient and reduce their CO2 emissions.

Daniel Shute, director of Environmental Fireplace Solutions, comments: "Headlines may be dominated by news of rising energy costs and climate change, but the Fireplace Heatsaver is giving householders a sunnier - and greener - outlook on their heating bills. It's the quickest, cleanest and easiest way to prevent heat loss up your chimney - making your home kinder to both your wallet and the planet."
