If you’ve just moved home and are not too sure what the insulation is like, you may want to read this. There are some great free offers around at the moment from household energy suppliers such as British Gas, EON, EDF and also Tesco’s. Each offer comes with its own terms and conditions but essentially, a large percentage of home owners and private tenants in the UK have the opportunity to have their loft insulated, or their cavity walls filled or both, completely free of charge. Loft insulation could save you up to £175 each year on your energy bill and cavity wall insulation could save you an additional £135 each year, so definitely worth looking into. Here are some of the conditions that apply to most of the offers. Cavity Wall If you have solid walls, insulation is not an option Your walls haven’t already been filled If your home is metal framed, pre-fabricated or made from concrete, natural stone or timber, cavity insulation isn’t possible The offers don’t apply to council tenants or if you live in a housing association property Your home must be damp free Loft You must have a pitched roof.
