Installing new loft insulation is recommended for all homes in the UK that don’t already have it, or need to replace it. Doing so will make your home more energy efficient and reduce your heating bills in the long term. Insulation generally needs to be applied to the loft area at a depth of at least 270mm; this amount of loft insulation will effectively prevent heat escaping through the roof of your home. With nearly 25% of all heat being lost via the roof, good quality loft insulation is a necessity for the majority of homes. In the UK, homeowners can currently take advantage of loft insulation grants, subject to meeting certain requirements. Below, the team at Online Insulation looks at the loft insulation grants available in the UK. Read on to learn more, and if you’d like to buy loft insulation for a new project – head over to our website today. 

Are Insulation Grants Available?

There are insulation grants available in the UK, enabling you to take advantage of these and save money on your loft insulation. A number of energy suppliers in the UK offer free insulation under the ECO scheme. The ECO scheme, also referred to as the Energy Company Obligation, provides financial support from energy suppliers. The aim of this government scheme is to help reduce carbon emissions and decrease fuel poverty. Under the ECO scheme, if you’re eligible, you can get both freebies and £1,000’s in grants. You are only able to access this scheme if you get certain benefits, and have an income of £16,190 or less. Currently, there are a number of suppliers involved in this scheme such as British Gas, E.on, EDF Energy, SSE, Ovo, and Scottish Power. To see the full list of suppliers that take part in the scheme, head to the Ofgem website. Overall, having insulation installed in your property will save you money in the long term – even if you’re unable to access a grant. Having standard loft insulation of 270mm in your residential property has been shown to save you between £135 and £250 a year on your energy bills. In fact, your loft insulation will pay for itself, so it’s definitely worth it.
