Shockingly, 35% of your home’s heat is escaping through uninsulated walls!
High energy bills can be a sign that your home’s insulation is inadequate. Poor insulation means your heating system works overtime to keep your home warm, leading to skyrocketing energy costs.
Eclipse Energy can help by providing free or partially funded insulation upgrades to improve your home’s energy efficiency through the ECO4 and Great British Insulation Scheme. Read ahead to find out more!
What Happens When You Upgrade Your Home Insulation?
Save Money
By upgrading your insulation, you can significantly reduce your energy bills. Every month, you might be spending much more than necessary on heating costs.
Proper insulation ensures that your home retains heat, allowing you to use less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature. Imagine the difference in your monthly budget when your energy bills are cut by a substantial margin.
These savings can be redirected towards other essential expenses or even leisure activities that enhance your quality of life.
Prevent Heat Loss
Proper insulation ensures that your home retains heat more effectively. Without adequate insulation, a significant portion of the heat generated in your home escapes, leading to higher energy consumption and costs.
The effort your heating system puts in to maintain a warm environment is wasted if the heat continuously escapes. Insulation acts as a barrier, keeping the warmth inside and the cold outside, which is crucial during the harsh winter months.
Stay Warm
No more suffering through cold spots and drafty rooms. Proper insulation ensures a consistent indoor temperature, making your home a much more pleasant place to live during the winter.
Cold spots and drafts not only make your home uncomfortable but can also lead to health issues such as colds and other respiratory problems. A well-insulated home maintains an even temperature, ensuring every room is cosy and comfortable.

Health Benefits of Proper Ventilation
Reduce Mould and Damp
Proper ventilation helps to eliminate mould and damp, reducing respiratory issues. Mould and damp can cause significant health problems, especially for those with asthma or allergies. By improving ventilation, you create a healthier living environment, reducing the risk of these issues.
Cleaner Air
Enhanced air quality reduces allergens, providing relief for asthma and allergy sufferers. Good ventilation ensures that pollutants and allergens are expelled from your home, leading to cleaner, fresher air. This is particularly beneficial for households with children, the elderly, or individuals with respiratory conditions.
Overall Health Improvement
A well-ventilated home promotes better health for you and your family. Better air quality means fewer health issues, fewer trips to the doctor, and a generally higher quality of life. Investing in proper ventilation is not just about comfort; it’s about ensuring that your home supports the health and well-being of its occupants.
