Did you know that around 35% of all heat lost in an un-insulated home or business is lost through the walls and 25% through the roof? Insulating your roof and cavity walls reduces heat loss and your fuel bills. Cavity wall insulation - what's it all about?If your home was built from 1920 onwards, the chances are that its external walls are made of two layers with a small gap or `cavity' between them. This means they are `cavity walls'. Insulating your cavity walls means filling that gap - with very good reason.
Why insulate your cavity walls?Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it - indoors. So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2): one of the biggest causes of climate change. You will also save money on your bills too. Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls. . |
Insulate your home to save energy and reduce your bills. Insulating your loft can save £180 a year. You may also be able to get an energy saving grants to help with the cost. See our grants section.
Switch off all electrical appliances at the plug instead of using the 'standby' function. Appliances are still using electricity when on 'standby', and account for a massive 6% of all electricity usage in the home.
You can save yourself £45 a year by replacing a 10 year-old fridge-freezer with a modern, energy efficient A-rated appliance.
