How to slash your heating bills.

Ever wondered just how much heat you lose through your roof and walls if they are uninsulated?

A staggering 25% is lost through your roof and 35% through your walls! Basically 60% of the heat you are paying for is escaping and heating up the fresh air rather than your home!

By insulating your home you could reduced this heat loss to less than 20% a two thirds saving. Now all homes are different and sizes and heat loss vary however even if you saved only £20 a month in the winter every single year then it is worth doing.

If you are retired or on certain benefits you can apply for an insulation grant and in most cases you will get the work done for free. If you do have to make a contribution it will be between £99 and £199 for insulating your cavity walls or insulating your loft.

As you can see your return on investment is actually very quick and you have the added comfort of feeling much warmer each year and cooler in the summer months.

The grants will not last for ever, get your grant now.
