There are two main types of internal insulation. Either insulation boards are fixed to the walls, or timber can be made with an insulating material positioned between the timber. Stud walls have more strength than insulation boards and can carry the weight of shelving, cupboards, etc, with ease, but they are often thicker than insulation boards.
The choice of technique for installing internal insulation will depend on how your property is built. Your insulation installer will be able to provide advice on which solution is right for your home.
Having professionally installed internal insulation can decrease the amount of heat being lost in your home by up to 45%. This is a significant percentage and could lead to savings in your energy bills of up to £540 per year in a standard 3-bedroom semi-detached property, according to data from the Energy Saving Trust.
Also, if you qualify for an internal wall insulation grant you could have the cost of installing your insulation covered, so it is definitely worth seeing if you might be eligible. This is especially significant because typical internal wall insulation costs (based on a 3-bedroom semi-detached property) could be as much as £8,500.
A good time to install internal insulation is when you are looking to have some other building or decorating work done anyway. Whichever option of internal insulation you choose, you will still need to remove and replace fittings such as light switches, skirting boards and others.
Internal wall insulation grants are available through the ECO4 scheme which could mean you are entitled to free installation. If you are eligible for a grant you won’t have to pay anything back it is completely free. The grants are provided by energy companies across the UK who have an obligation through the scheme to help domestic households improve their carbon footprint and energy efficiency with affordable methods of heating. This will help with the fight against climate change and work towards the government’s goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions.
Since transitioning from ECO3 to ECO4 there have been some changes to the qualifying criteria, so some households who were previously not eligible for an internal insulation grant may now qualify. The opposite might also apply, meaning for example, if you were claiming a disability benefit that would have seen you approved for a grant under ECO3, you may not be eligible under ECO4, unless you are also receiving a different income-related benefit. With the introduction of ECO4, there has been a larger focus placed on income, meaning if you are a homeowner or private tenant and have a household income of below £31,000, or you are receiving an income-related benefit, it is likely you will be able to get an internal wall insulation grant.
If you or someone in your household claims one of the following benefits, you could be entitled to a grant that will cover the cost of fitting internal insulation in your home.
