Sometimes it’s good to be full of hot air

If your home isn’t well insulated, the lovely warmth generated by your radiators could be escaping through the walls, windows, doors and roof. With the cost of gas and electricity on the up, you’d probably like to save money on your utilities bills as well as your house insurance, so it’s time to get insulating!

By insulating cavity walls you could save up to 33% of the heat from escaping. It creates an even temperature in your home and helps prevent condensation on walls and ceilings. There are even grants available to get the work done, for more information visit heat project.

Up to a third of your heating costs could literally be going through the roof. Check the thickness of the insulation you have fitted, if it’s less than 270mm deep then there’s energy (and money) to be saved.

If you can feel cold air when you hold your hand up to a window, then you’re losing warm air here too. If double-glazing is an option for you, it’s worth considering, because around 20% of heat tends to be lost through ventilation and draughts. Double-glazing creates an insulating barrier that reduces noise and condensation as well as heat loss.
