The Loft
Getting your loft insulated can be a fabulous way to save on your energy bills. In fact, according to the Energy Saving Trust, loft insulation could save you around £150 a year, while cavity wall insulation could save you around £115 a year.
If you're worried about the initial expense of this, it's worth noting that you could be eligible for a government or local authority grant to help you with the overall cost. If you're over 70, for example, you can have your house insulated free of charge, while if you're over 60, you've also got a good chance of getting financial help.
You can check which grants you're entitled to using the Energy Saving Trust website or why not ask a question on Q&A to get advice on loft insulation?
