question
Do I need to have a high level of insulation?
answer
Our solutions will work with any level of
insulation however a poorly insulated house will loose a lot of heat so it is important
to have an efficient heating solution such as our energy saver.
Some insulation measures can be quite cheap but still give high levels of benefits such as adding
insulation strips around the door frames and windows. This can be done for a few pounds by yourself.
The next level would be to look at your windows. Single pane windows need to be improved
with a second layer but having the whole window replaced can of course be costly and intrusive, so
consider secondary glazing. There are now a number of different types on the market including
lift-outs, hinged unit, horizontal and vertical sliders. It is in fact the layer of air between the
two panes that provide the insulation. If you already have double glazing you should be OK if they are
in decent shape. Investing in triple glazing is normally not cost-effective in the UK.
Adding decent loft insulation would be a decent third step. Finally cavity wall insulation should
also be considered if you don't already have it. |
