How well insulated is your home?
You may think that your home is pretty warm, but according to the Green Building Council up to 25 million homes are not expected to meet government standards for insulation by 2050.
Insulating your home will save you energy and save you money. PT Energy Solutions are able to offer a full range of insulation measures which will make your home warmer and more energy-efficient.
How much energy am I losing?
In a poorly insulated home, most of the heat is lost through your roof and walls – approximately 25% through the roof and 35% through an uninsulated wall. So, without proper insulation heat is escaping as soon as your heating is switched on.
By insulating your home you could save significant money each year. According to the Energy Saving Trust you could expect to save up a significant amount of money each year.
| Measure Type | Annual saving | Annual CO2 saving |
|---|---|---|
| Cavity wall insulation | £280 | 1150 kg |
| Solid wall insulation | £375 | 1540 kg |
| Floor insulation | £75 | 420 kg |
| Roof insulation (0 – 270mm insulation) | £250 | 1030 kg |
Why is insulating my home so important?
Ensuring your home is correctly insulated is one of the best ways to save energy and save money. It also helps to make sure that your home is warm in the winter and cooler in the summer months – you could also save up to 40% on your heating bills.
If your home is not well insulated it’s like going out on the coldest day without a hat or coat on.
Whilst big improvements have been made to the energy efficiency of home appliances and electronics, one of the biggest improvements you can make to your home is to ensure your home is adequately insulated.
