Insulation:
Energy Saving Measures
Insulating your walls and loft prevents heat from escaping out of your home, which means you’ll need less energy to heat your property and so reduce your usage and bills.
No matter how your walls are built, or if you currently have loft insulation, we can check and advise to see if they can be improved with cavity wall insulation, internal wall insulation, external wall insulation, and/or loft insulation.
We can check your property’s suitability for insulation upgrades, click below to find out more about these energy efficiency measures.
Subject to property and household eligibility/scheme criteria
Solar PV and Air Source Heat Pump: Energy Generating Measures
With solar panels, you can generate electricity for your home, which can reduce the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid. If you generate more electricity than you use, you may be able to export the surplus back to the grid.
An air source heat pump can then use electricity (including electricity generated by your solar panels) to provide efficient heating / hot water for your home, helping typically to reduce running costs compared with some traditional heating.
We can check your property’s suitability for solar panels and an air source heat pump, click below to find out more about energy efficiency measures.
