The FREE Home Insulation Scheme

Under the 2023 Government ECO4 Home & Wall Insulation Scheme

Poor insulation allows heat to escape through the walls.
Heat always flows from hotter to colder areas, and if the inside of the home is warmer than the outside, heat will escape through the walls.
Insulation works by reducing the transfer of heat through the walls.
The effectiveness of insulation is measured by its R-value, which indicates its resistance to heat flow.
If the insulation in a wall is old, damaged, or insufficient, it can allow heat to escape, which wastes energy and increases heating costs.
Poorly insulated walls can also cause drafts and cold spots, making a home less comfortable.
In addition to causing energy waste and discomfort, poor insulation can also lead to moisture problems, which can lead to mold growth and other issues.
To prevent heat loss through walls, it's important to ensure that walls are properly insulated and that any insulation is in good condition. This may involve adding insulation or replacing old or damaged insulation.
Other ways to improve insulation include sealing air leaks, using energy-efficient windows, and installing weatherstripping around doors and windows.
Improving insulation not only helps reduce energy waste and save money on heating bills, but it also contributes to a more comfortable and healthier home environment.
