Correctly insulating your home can have a dramatic effect on your heating costs. The diagram below shows how much heat can escape from various parts of your home if they are poorly insulated.

Dry Lining Insulation

Dry lining insulation is usually plasterboard that is fixed to the internal walls or property frame. The main advantages to using this form of insulation is:

insulation
sound proofing
increased fire protection
stops moisture getting in and causing damage

Cavity Wall / Cavity Filled Insulation

Approximately one third of heat can be lost through external walls. Insulating the space or 'cavity' between the outer and inner walls of your property will help keep this heat inside your property and therefore reduce your heating costs.

Approximately £110 per year can be saved on your fuel bills

If your home was built from 1920 onwards, the chances are that its external walls are made of two layers with a small gap or `cavity' between them. This means they are `cavity walls'.

Insulating your cavity walls means filling that gap - with very good reason.
Why insulate your cavity walls?

Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it - indoors.

So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2): one of the biggest causes of climate change. You will also save money on your bills too.

Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.

Cavity wall insulation is so cost effective that it will pay for itself over and over again. The better insulated your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm - and the more money you'll save.

By insulating your cavity walls you could cut your heating costs and, by saving energy, your household will produce less CO2. So, insulating your cavity walls is a great way to help fight climate change.

There are grants and offers available to help pay for cavity wall insulation - you can search our grants and offers database to see what's available or call your local advice centre free on 0800 512 012, they'll be happy to help.
Could cavity wall insulation work for your home?

Generally speaking, your home will be suitable for cavity wall insulation if:
* its external walls are unfilled cavity walls.
* the masonry/brick work of your property is in good condition.
* your cavity is at least 50mm wide
If your home was built in the last 10 years it is likely that the cavity is already insulated. Some walls exposed to driving rain can also be unsuitable for cavity wall insulation. In all cases if you're thinking about cavity wall insulation, always check with a registered installer who will assess whether your home ticks all the right boxes.

In the meantime, find out how to identify if you have cavity walls.

Or, if you're sure your home is not suitable for cavity wall insulation, why not think about solid wall insulation?

Did you know?
An un-insulated home loses around 1/3 of its heat through its external walls. If every UK household that is suitable for cavity wall insulation installed it, we could save around £690 million and nearly 4 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

How do you get cavity wall insulation?

Filling cavity walls is not a job you can do yourself. Installation must always be carried out by a registered installer.

A registered installer for cavity wall insulation being one that is a member of any one of the following organisations:

1. The National Insulation Association (NIA)
2. The Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA)
3. The British Board of Agrement (BBA)

Two key things to look out for when considering an installer:
1. They sign up to a code of professional practice like those provided by the NIA
2. The installation is guaranteed for 25 years by CIGA.

For these installers, the job is simple, quick - and makes no mess. Typically, a home will take around two hours to insulate, depending on how big your house is and how accessible its external cavity walls are.
