The Green Project is taking part in the:
Household’s Pay through the Roof for the Cornish Big Freeze
Homeowners are urged to insulate against future cold spells
Reports indicate that the recent big freeze that hit the region has added £70 to the average UK householder’s gas and electricity costs. With households turning up the thermostat and keeping heating on for longer periods, the Cornwall based provider of insulation grants has warned that as much as 25% of heat in the home could be lost through the roof, and 33% through the walls. This makes for a very inefficient home and as much as £1 of every £2 spent on heating wasted on warming the air outside!
The Heat Project is urging those across the county affected by the cold spell to install loft and cavity wall insulation in their homes to guarantee cosier winters and cheaper fuel bills. As insulation effectively acts as a blanket for a home, households could save as much as £365 a year by reducing wasted heat and cutting the need to have heating on for as long and at such high temperatures.
Many UK homeowners are already aware of the benefits of switching energy suppliers to make fuel bills cheaper, but insulation is often overlooked as another very effective way to achieve significant savings regardless of supplier. Insulation ensures you only pay for the fuel you consume, not the surplus that escapes through the walls and loft of an inadequately insulated home.
With grants available on a first-come-first-served basis to help towards the cost of insulation, you can also save around £600 on typical installation costs, guaranteeing significant savings from day one and the benefits of a more energy efficient home.
