The ECO4 scheme aims to help landlords upgrade their properties for improved energy efficiency and decreased carbon footprint in the UK. This scheme offers grants to eligible landlords to install solid wall insulation and loft insulation in their rented properties.
But how do solid wall insulation and loft insulation work and benefit properties?
Solid Wall Insulation
Solid wall insulation involves adding insulation material to a property’s internal or external walls. This can prevent heat loss by trapping the heat inside and ultimately reducing energy bills while keeping the property warm.
Loft Insulation
Loft insulation fills the space between the property’s loft joists with insulation material, creating a thicker barrier to prevent heat from escaping through the roof. Not only can this help reduce energy bills, but it can also increase a property’s energy efficiency.
Improving energy efficiency by installing insulation and obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating can increase a property’s value and appeal to potential tenants.
