Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity Wall Insulation is a great way to reduce the cost of your annual heating bills. Cavity Wall insulation is injected into the cavity between the inner and outer leaves of the external wall. Filling the gaps decreases the amount of heat that normally escapes through the walls. With most homes built before 1976 the Cavity Wall Insulation can cut heat loss by more then 30-50%.

The Savings
Around a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home escapes through the walls. If you have cavity walls, insulating them could save you between £130 and £160 a year on your fuel bills. It will also cut CO2 emissions by around 1 tonne. These figures are provided by The Energy Saving Trust and are based on an average size property heated by gas. Greater savings can be made in larger properties or those heated by coal or electricity.
