How to Beat the Energy Price Hike with Multifoil Insulation

How to Beat the Energy Price Hike with Multifoil Insulation

In this blog we will detail how you can beat the energy price hike by insulating your home with our multifoil insulation. With Energy bills expected to soar to almost £2,000 a year from April, now is the time to Insulate your home.

Unfortunately even the savviest energy customers are facing substantial increases. This is uncontrollable because of the worldwide squeeze on supplies. A frustrating time for everyone… The Financial Times explain there is a limit on how much the government can help with this. So currently we all have to accept the price increase.

However, what is within your control is how you utilise the energy you are paying for. We suggest quick action, as Ofgem state The energy price cap will increase from 1 April for approximately 22 million customers. Those on default tariffs paying by direct debit will see an increase of £693 from £1,277 to £1,971 per year!

Are YOU Really Utilising the Energy in your home? Is YOUR Home Sufficiently Insulated? 

If you have areas around your home that are uninsulated or poorly insulated, you are not utilising the heating you are paying for. This is quite literally like throwing money out of a window.

Key Areas to Insulate:

Lofts

The Loft is always a good place to start, an uninsulated loft can massively impact the energy utilisation of your entire home. This is because the energy you are paying for rises and will be escaping above you. So insulation creates a blanket that reflects the heat back into your home and acts as a barrier to heat loss.

Once your Loft is insulated, consider the standard of the Insulation in your Walls and Floors. So if your walls feel cold, or there are draughts coming from below your flooring the chances are that you require further insulation!

 

Walls

Around a third of all heat lost from a poorly insulated home escapes through the walls. Wall insulation acts as a blanket throughout the home preventing heat from escaping through the walls in multiple places.

Floor 

Around 15% of your homes energy can be lost through the floors if they are drafty or incorrectly insulated. So by simply adding insulation think of the energy you could save?
