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%.

Cavity wall insulation Approx £130 to £160

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.

Switch off appliances when not in use such as computers, televisions, video recorders, as they use energy when they are left on standby. A DVD player uses around 80% - 90% of its energy when it is not in use but left on standby.

Only wash full loads when using the washing machine but if not use the economy programme. Always use a low temperature setting as modern machines automatically heat the water. Similar rules should apply for dishwashers. Modern dishwashers use less energy and water than washing by hand.

Switch to energy saving lightbulbs. They last 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs and could save you around £60 over its lifespan. Always turn off the lights when leaving the room. Most people think that turning the light on and off uses more energy, this isn´t the case.

If your boiler is over 15 years old it´s probably time to replace it. New gas boilers must now be of the high efficiency condensing type, which can help save around a third on your heating bills. It is worth upgrading to modern controls such as Thermostatic Radiator Valves as this will help to save even more money.
