What Is Loft Insulation?
Loft Insulation can be compared to a blanket in its purpose as it traps any heat which is lost through the roof. Has your house been insulated in the last ten years? If not then it will need attention and any existing Loft Insulation will need to be increased in line with the current Building Regulations Standards depth of 270mm or 11 inches.
Installing Loft insulation is hassle-free, easy and can be free or relatively inexpensive. The time scale taken to install it is around 1 hour. Also included in the process, water tanks, pipes and hatches will be insulated. This will all help to reduce heat loss in your home and help to make savings to your energy bills.
The Benefits
There are many benefits of installing Loft Insulation, that include:
- Keeps the home warm and comfortable
- Reduces condensation
- Saves energy and helps lower your carbon footprint
- Protects the environment
The Savings
Based on an average sized property heated by gas, The Energy Savings Trust has provided figures to illustrate savings made by installing insulation. For those who have no insulation, installing Loft Insulation could amount to savings of £180 - £220! Even bigger savings can be made by those who have larger properties or properties heated by electricity or coal.
