Cavity Wall Insulation – Go for Grants

Author: | Posted: 16.03.2012

Do you need cavity wall insulation for your house? If so, then there are chances that you may get one hundred percent grants that may cover up the total insulation cost. However, in most of the cases the chances for partial grants are higher, i.e. 40%-70% of the total insulation cost. Keep in mind that such type of insulation is necessary for buildings that feature cavity or a certain amount of gap between the layers of the outer walls.

Wall and loft insulation is necessary. It will help much in reducing the household’s overall carbon footprint. After all, it is a known fact that the insulation is one of the best ways to save energy. With higher energy saving, the emission of harmful gases like carbon dioxide will be reduced. While saving energy, you can also help yourself by saving a substantial amount from your hard-earned income. Such type of wall insulation is important for reducing the condensation problem within the house interiors. Another amazing fact about cavity wall insulation: the construction/installation procedure takes around 3 hours maximum and is quite inexpensive. Moreover, these devices along with the installation feature a guarantee period of 25 years! And the guarantee is provided by CIGA (Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency).

A question will definitely arise: who are the funding agents available for such insulation grants?

Well, there are a lot of funding agents like Scottish and Southern Energy, EON, EDF, N-Power, British Gas, etc. All these companies follow the CERT rules as prescribed by the Government. CERT stands for Carbon Emissions Reduction Target. There are specific targets that have been set by the Government of UK to help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. While speaking of grants offering, the chances are higher for houses that had been constructed between 1924 – 1982.
