What are the benefits of cavity wall insulation in St Helens?
There are several benefits to having insulation installed in your cavity walls, including reduced heating costs and a lower carbon footprint.
Here are four of the biggest advantages of cavity wall insulation:
Improved energy efficiency
With insulated walls, your home’s heat retention is massively improved, thus enhancing the energy efficiency of the property. Your central heating system will no longer be required for long periods because your home isn’t losing heat as quickly.
Reduced energy costs
With cavity wall insulation, you simply do not need to have your central heating system on as long as you once did. This is because the heat produced by the system is trapped within your home instead of being allowed to escape through uninsulated exterior walls.
Improved property value
Enhancing your home’s energy efficiency will improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which is appealing to potential homebuyers. So, if you do look to sell your property in the future, the value may be higher with an enhanced EPC rating.
Lower carbon emissions
With your home both using and wasting less energy, your property immediately becomes much more energy efficient because it’s producing lower carbon emissions, helping the environment.
