Warm homes project

Cavity wall insulation

This reduces the heat you lose through the external cavity wall of your home. The air space in the wall is filled with material to reduce heat transfer. This captures the air within the cavity, stopping heat loss and reducing heating bills.

External wall insulation

This adds an additional insulating layer to the outside of your external wall. This stops heat escaping through your walls which means the cold will be kept out.

Internal wall insulation

Installing insulation to the inside walls of your home creates a thermal barrier between the inside and the outside, which will reduce heat loss.

Loft insulation

This insulation traps the heat inside the rooms below the loft, keeping your home warmer for longer.

Room in roof insulation

Installing insulation between and over the rafters of your roof structure to stop heat escaping through the roof. The rafters are the sloping timbers that make up the roof as a whole.

Flat roof insulation

Insulation to a flat roof will minimise heat transfer between the inside and outside of the home. This will help regulate the internal temperature, reduce condensation and improve energy efficiency.

Double glazing

Double glazing is where two panes of glass are set within the same frame but are separated by a sealed gap filled with an insulating gas.

Insulated doors

External doors can be replaced to with insulated doors, helping to keep your heat in your home for longer.

Hot water cylinder insulation

This involves putting a thick jacket around your hot water cylinder to create a thermal barrier, reducing heat loss and keeping your water hot for longer.

High heat retention storage heaters

These are advanced electric heaters that use smart controls to store heat overnight and release it slowly throughout the day. They have significantly increased energy performance compared to the older storage heaters you might have.

Heating controls

Time and temperature zone heating controls allow different areas of a property to be heated and controlled independently. For example, you could have the heating on downstairs during the day but completely off upstairs while those rooms are not being used.

Weather dependent smart heating

A smart heating control that uses an outdoor sensor to adjust your heating. If the weather is cold outside it will increase the inside  temperature . When it is hot outside it will decrease the inside temperature.

As part of any energy improvement being installed, the ventilation in your home will be thought about. 

Suitable and consistent ventilation is needed when any insulation is added, so that the air flow is enough to maintain the thermal comfort of your home.

Low energy lighting

We'll replace your current light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs. These bulbs need much less electricity to produce the same amount of light as a traditional bulb. Your light fitting might also need to be changed so that they can use these bulbs.
