Free Loft Insulation Grants for Enhanced Energy Efficiency

You can significantly reduce your heating costs and improve home comfort through a free loft insulation grant. Here’s how it works and why it's beneficial:

Benefits of Free Loft Insulation

• Cost Savings: By installing thick mineral fibre insulation in your loft, you can keep your home warmer while reducing heating expenses.
• Efficiency: The insulation acts like a blanket, retaining heat within your home more effectively.
• Quality Materials: Our experts use high-quality loft insulation materials to ensure optimal performance and durability.

Eligibility and Funding Details

• Available Grants: Funding is available for both vacant lofts and topping up insulation where levels have fallen below 100 mm.
• Energy Savings: Up to a quarter of the heat you generate can escape through an uninsulated roof, highlighting the importance of proper insulation.
• Upgrade Consideration: Consider upgrading older insulation (more than seven years old) to newer, more efficient models to maximize energy savings.

Reasons to Act

• Lower Energy Costs: Insulated homes require less energy for heating, leading to reduced utility bills.
• Year-round Comfort: Enjoy a cozier and more comfortable living environment throughout the year.
