Recent news headlines have not ceased to remind us about the financial pressures that many of us continue to face here in the UK. With government budget cuts now on the way and more jobs being lost, it is no less important for many of us to ensure that we save as much money as possible in our daily lives.
One of the most popular ways of doing this is to address our energy costs. Many of us, after all, will readily admit that we waste far too much money on electricity each year, failing to use appliances efficiently or compare alternative energy suppliers. Alternatively, many of us may choose to turn down our thermostats by one degree centigrade, which can save up to 10% on our heating bills, while others may replace an out-dated boiler with a newer, more efficient model.
If there's one method many of us might not have considered, however, it is insulating our home. You could save hundreds of pounds a year on your fuel bills simply by investing in the right blanket insulation for your roof, floor and walls.
What to look for in a supplier of blanket insulation
If blanket insulation of this type sounds like a great idea to you, there are several factors that will dictate your choice of product and supplier. Firstly, you will want to ensure that both the product and supplier are tried and tested and have a strong reputation for results, with a long list of satisfied past customers. You will want to be assured that the insulation you choose is LABC registered and BDA certificated for the insulation of roofs, walls and floors.
The right choice of insulation will keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If fitted in the loft in readiness for a loft conversion, such insulation will be stapled straight to the roof rafters, both to maximise loft space and to ensure that it takes as little time as possible to fit.
The right supplier will also offer its products at the most competitive prices, with an emphasis on a high standard of customer service.
