If you live in the UK, and own your own house or rent a private property, you are entitled to a grant for cavity wall or loft insulation,
if you claim any of the following benefits you get them for free. If you do not claim benefits the usual price you pay is 149 for cavity wall insulation and the same for loft insulation, up to a four bedroom detached house. The rest is paid for by the grant that the supplier will claim for you. So there is nothing for you to do.

SOLAR PANELS
Another good investment in the Uk is solar panels, as you can get them supplies and installed with a 25 year guarantee and maintenance for 500
The reason for this is that the supplier will get the money from the feed in tariff and the customer gets the free electricity.
If you can afford to pay for the solar panels yourself which is about 10,000 - 13,000, then you would get the feed in tariff yourself, and if the roof is south facing you will make about 32,000 profit on a 2.56 Kw system, This equates to 10.6 % interest per year.
As you can see, a lot more than what you would get from the high street banks, and you are helping the environment by cutting your carbon footprint.
The other option is to build your own solar panels or wind turbine, for a complete guide
