Benefits of insulation
Lower Energy Bills: Adding insulation enhances your home's energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through walls, the roof, and floors. This means you'll require less energy to heat your home, resulting in lower heating costs.
Warmer Home in Winter: Insulation acts as a barrier to prevent heat from escaping, keeping more warmth inside during colder months. This makes your home cozier and more comfortable.
Reduce Carbon Footprint: By using less energy for heating, you can significantly lower your home's carbon emissions. Insulating your home is a practical way to lessen its environmental impact.
Improve Energy Efficiency Rating: Proper insulation can improve your home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. A higher rating indicates greater energy efficiency, which can be a valuable selling point for potential homebuyers.
