Loft insulation.
Approximately a quarter of the heat that you pay for is lost through the roof of an uninsulated home. Insulating your loft is one of the easiest, most cost-effective way of saving energy and reducing your heating bills. This means that every £100 you spend on heating £25.00 is wasted.
Air Source Heat Pumps: Why Select Them?
2. Cost Savings: Over time, ASHPs might bring about significant energy bill investment funds by bringing down your dependency on traditional heating fuels.
3. Environmental effect: ASHPs help with reducing the natural impact of your home since they have a smaller carbon footprint than conventional heating systems.
4. Versatility: These systems provide year-round comfort in your house by offering both heating and cooling capabilities.
5. Grant Eligibility: An air source heat pump establishment might be, to some extent, covered by government awards or incentives, making it a more financially savvy decision for your home.
Specially designed insulation is fitted to the sloping part of the room and insulation is fixed to the back of the vertical walls. A layer of plasterboard is then installed over the insulation material and plastered ready for decoration.
Things like skirting boards, radiators and light fitting are removed before insulating and replaced afterwards. There is very little disruption and the whole process is completed very quickly.

Houses in the UK mostly have either solid walls or cavity walls:
