Cavity Wall Insulation
For sustainable, cosy homes
Is your home cold because it’s losing heat through the walls? Cavity wall insulation is one of the most common and effective ways to remedy that problem.
Most homes built between the 1920s and 1990s have a gap between the inner and outer walls, so filling it with insulation prevents heat from escaping, leading to a warmer, more comfortable environment and significant savings on your energy bills.
How does cavity wall insulation work?
Part of the heat pump will live outside of your house. This part often looks like a slightly larger air conditioning unit that you might see on buildings when you go abroad. They typically sit on the ground and will often be attached to one of your exterior walls.
Insulating your cavity walls is a straightforward process that provides a range of immediate and long-term benefits.
Lower Energy Bills: By stopping heat from escaping through your walls, you'll reduce the amount of energy needed to heat your home, resulting in lower heating costs. A detached house could save around £500 a year.
Improved Comfort: It creates a consistent temperature throughout your home, eliminating cold spots and draughts.
Environmental Impact: Reducing your energy consumption helps to lower your home's carbon footprint.
Quick Installation: The process is typically quick and non-disruptive, often taking just a few hours for a professional to complete.
Increases Property Value: An insulated home is more energy-efficient, which can improve its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating and increase its market value by as much as 14%.
