In the middle of summer, home insulation isn’t necessarily the first thing you think about but now is the time to think about what measures you take for when the weather turns cooler. Everyone likes a warm, cosy home but how can you make your house warmer without paying a fortune for gas and electricity?

The good news is there are lots of low-cost energy conservation measures to stop heat loss at home. Many of them are quick and easy solutions. Energy efficiency – particularly through insulation – is a way of saving energy and improving your comfort at home whilst cutting your energy bills.

Please remember when paying for anyone to work on your home to always use a reputable installer, preferably with a recommendation from someone you know.
