It’s no secret that our heating bills are increasing and if all the experts are correct this winter prices will increase significantly. So is it time for you to act?
Professionally fitted loft insulation will keep you and your family warmer plus it will also save you on average £380 per year on your central heating bill. The really good thing is you may be able to have it installed free of charge if you are claiming certain benefits.
There are many types of insulation available and it is very important to select the correct product to suit your house, a professional installer will be able to point you in the right direction. Installing the incorrect product could end up costing you money.
How does insulating a loft help?
Loft insulation works by creating a barrier to the hot air which is rising from the lower levels of your home. We all know that hot air rises and therefore will easily escape through your loft and roof if it is not properly insulated. The air pockets in the insulation trap the heat and stop it escaping into the atmosphere thus keeping the house much warmer. With the correct insulation installed you will find your home will be cooler in the summer, so it’s defiantly a win win situation.
It is recommended to fit at least 270mm thick insulation into the loft area but as we said before the professional will advise you as to the best choice for you.
