Solar PV panels (alternatively called photovoltaic cells) generate electricity from natural sun light. The electricity is therefore generated without any harmful emissions and does not contribute to climate change.

Make sure your heating system is up-to-date and working properly. If you have a fireplace and/or a wood stove, ensure that the chimney is drawing well and there are no obstacles to the proper release of smoke and heat. If you have another source of heat, ensure that it is working well by checking it regularly. Many maintenance tasks you can do yourself without the need of a professional - changing air filters, etc. by David Ellis
