Cavity Wall Insulation and Loft Insulation Grants

http://www.cavity-insulation-grants.com A major source of grant funding today comes from the national and regional utility companies who are responding to the Government's drive for better energy efficiency. This means that UK energy suppliers with a certain number of customers are obliged to achieve targets for improving home energy efficiency.

As a direct consequence, these suppliers are providing a range of offers which significantly reduce the cost of installing energy efficiency measures, such as home insulation. What's more, you can take up offers from any of the energy companies, regardless of who supplies your gas and electricity.

Loft : Customer contributions (the amount that you pay) vary between £199 and £249, dependent on your property location and available grants, property type, fuel type and the amount of insulation that is needed to bring your loft insulation up to the current Building Regulations of 270mm.

Cavity Wall: Customer contributions, vary between £199 and £249, dependent on your property location and available grants and providing the property falls within the size parameters set by the schemes. Plus, your property must have cavity walls insulation, and must not be built of stone, timber or steel.

If you receive any of the qualifying benefits listed below, the customer contribution (the amount you pay) is zero, therefore enabling you to have your property insulated free of charge.
