Loft Insulation.Your home could be loosing as much as 25% of it's heatWithout loft insulation you could be loosing as much as 25% of your homes heat through the roof. Insulating your loft is an effective way to reduce your heating bills. Home insulation will not only keep your house warmer in the winter but will also keep your house cooler in the summer. If you currently have no loft insulation and you install the recommended 270mm depth you could save around £155 a year on your heating bills and around 1 tonne of carbon dioxide (CO 2) per year. If everyone in the UK topped up their loft insulation to 270mm, around £560m would be saved each year. That's enough money to pay the annual fuel bills of around 530,000 families. And what's more, there are currently a number of different home energy efficiency grants available for UK home owners and UK home owners receiving benefits - many of which include free offers. So you could save £150 pounds per year - for FREE.  Free Loft Insulation GrantsThe grants are available as part of the Government's new Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT). The major utility companies have agreed to meet targets to reduce carbon emissions and part of this involves insulating domestic properties. No matter who your energy supplier is, you can still apply through Polar Warm. Grants are available to UK homeowners, private tenants and in some cases for landlords of rented properties.
