Cavity wall insulation fills the gap between a property's internal and external walls with insulating material. This action serves as a thermal barrier, reducing heat loss from the property and lowering energy consumption. The procedure is both cost-effective and environmentally beneficial. It can lead to significant energy bill reductions and a more comfortable living environment while reducing the household's carbon footprint.
The most immediate benefit of cavity wall insulation is the potential for significant savings on energy bills. It is estimated that homeowners can save up to 35% on annual energy expenditures, depending on the size and condition of the property.
Reduced energy consumption directly correlates with lower carbon emissions. Consequently, cavity wall insulation is valuable for contributing to environmental sustainability and combating climate change.
The Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) Scheme grants eligible households grants for cavity wall insulation. To qualify, homeowners must meet specific criteria:
Those who meet these criteria may be entitled to an ECO 4 grant, which can cover the full cost of cavity wall insulation.
