Cavity Wall Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation Grants, Lancashire
Did you know that around a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home is through the walls? Insulating cavity walls reduces heat loss and can save you around £115 a year on your fuel bills.
If your home was built from 1920 onwards, the chances are that its external walls are made of two layers with a small gap or 'cavity' between them.
Insulating your cavity walls means filling that gap. Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it - indoors. Here are some pictures of one of IQ's cavity wall insulation jobs. We drill access holes and we then inject the void with high grade insulation material. We then carefully fill the holes and tidy up, leaving your house just as it looked before.
So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently, saving you lots of money. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions; one of the biggest causes of climate change. Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.
The installed cost includes the subsidy available from the major energy suppliers under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT); the typical unsubsidised installed cost is around £500. You can get it done for £149 or even get it done for free if you qualify for 100% grant funding. Cavity wall insulation is so cost effective that it will pay for itself over and over again. The better insulated your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm - and the more money you'll save.
Generally speaking, your home will be suitable for cavity wall insulation if:
- its external walls are unfilled cavity walls.
- the masonry/brick work of your property is in good condition.
- your cavity is at least 50mm wide
If you're not sure your home has a cavity wall that would be suitable for cavity wall insulation, why not think about solid wall insulation?
Did you know?
An un-insulated home loses around a third of its heat through its external walls. If every UK household that is suitable for cavity wall insulation installed it, we could save around £690 million and nearly 4 million tonnes of CO2 every year.
