Never been a better time to insulate your home

Energy Saving Trust - 24th June 2011

With rising energy bills, there has never been a better time to improve home insulation, claims Bev Coombe, membership and communications manager for the National Insulation Association.

Highlighting the benefits of installing insulation, she said: "Householders can save around £265 every year on their energy bills by having loft and cavity wall insulation installed.

"There is also the added benefit of living in a warmer, more comfortable home- which also has a reduced environmental impact."

Meanwhile, people moving home could find that insulation will improve a property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which all sellers must complete and show potential buyers the energy efficiency standard of a building.
