As energy prices continue to escalate, homeowners and tenants in Livingston and Bathgate, West Lothian, are seeking ways to mitigate their energy expenditures. One effective solution is to install solid wall insulation, which can significantly reduce heat loss, achieving a reduction of up to 45%. This not only translates into financial savings on energy bills but also enhances the comfort of homes, diminishing draughts, increasing property value, and improving soundproofing and damp-proofing.
Fortunately, a solution is available for those who desire to install solid wall insulation but face financial constraints. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme provides funding for solid wall insulation to assist low-income households in reducing their energy bills. Homeowners with solid walls and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of G, F, or E may be eligible for this funding, which covers the cost of installing insulation boards within homes.
This is where Eco-Home Network steps in. Eco-Home Network collaborates with homeowners in West Lothian to facilitate the claiming of ECO 4 grants through the Government's ECO scheme. Eligible households can now obtain an ECO 4 grant, contingent upon their current circumstances, property type, and EPC rating. This grant is exclusively available for individuals receiving Qualifying benefits or LA Flex and solely for properties with an EPC rating of G, F, or E.
Solid wall insulation is a cost-effective method for enhancing the energy efficiency of homes, reducing carbon emissions, and achieving savings on energy bills. It is particularly effective in older properties, which tend to have solid walls that are less insulated than modern properties. Installing insulation boards within walls can reduce heat loss by up to 45%, resulting in a substantial impact on energy bills.
Beyond financial savings on energy bills, solid wall insulation offers additional benefits. It enhances home comfort by reducing draughts and improving insulation, which can contribute to noise reduction and dampness mitigation. It also increases property value, making homes more appealing to potential buyers.
Tenants can also reap the benefits of this grant, as Eco-Home Network provides energy-efficiency solutions to enhance home comfort and environmental sustainability. These solutions may include the installation of solid wall insulation and other measures such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and boiler upgrades.
