Are you tired of feeling chilly in your rented home during winter months? Do you find yourself constantly turning up the heat without any luck in raising temperatures? Perhaps it’s time to consider upgrading your rented home’s insulation with solid wall insulation and/or loft insulation. Not only can it increase warmth in your living space, but it can also improve your home’s energy performance for FREE, with insulation grants.
As a tenant, you may be eligible to receive insulation grants to support energy efficiency improvements in your rented home. The UK government encourages tenants to take action on their carbon footprint and offers grants through the ECO4 scheme to support installing solid wall insulation and loft insulation.
So, how does insulation work and what benefits does it offer tenants?
Solid Wall Insulation
Solid wall insulation works by adding insulation material to your rented home’s internal or external walls. This process traps heat inside your home, preventing heat loss, and keeping your home warm. It can also help reduce your energy use and lower energy bills.
Loft Insulation
Loft insulation involves filling the empty space between loft joists with insulating material. By doing this, it can create a thicker barrier that helps prevent heat from escaping your home through the roof. Loft insulation also helps with energy efficiency and can reduce energy bills.
