ECO4 Scheme: Loft insulation Grants
Save Money on Your Energy Bills and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
If you're looking to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint, then Loft insulation could be the solution you've been searching for.
Loft insulation creates a thermal barrier, preventing rising hot air from escaping your roof. The air pockets within the insulation trap the hot air, preventing it from being lost into the atmosphere.
Many properties throughout the United Kingdom lose heat due to outdated Loft insulation. If you've noticed high energy bills, draughts, high levels of moisture, or a noticeably cold loft, then it's time to consider an upgrade.
The UK government estimates that if all homes were to have 300mm of blanket-style Loft insulation, it could help the country meet its CO2 reduction targets.
Not only will Loft insulation save you money, but it can also significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
The good news is that free government grants are available from the ECO4 scheme or LA Flex funding. Eco-Home Network can help you determine if you're eligible for these grants.
