What Free Cavity Wall Insulation Programmes Are Available?

Cavity wall insulation grants can be broken down into three main categories:

  • ECO funding
  • LAD funding
  • LA FLEX grants

ECO funding was first introduced in 2013 and it is intended to increase energy efficiency while addressing the needs of those who cannot afford insulation upgrades. Energy suppliers are obligated to work with qualified installation firms in order to provide you with cost-effective heating solutions. Keep in mind that ECO funding is sometimes known as the Affordable Warmth Obligation Scheme.

LA FLEX stands for “Local Authority Energy Flexibility”. This local grant is designed to provide property owners with financial aid if they are on a limited budget. Free cavity wall insulation is one possibility covered within this scheme.

How May You be Able to Qualify?

There are several ways in which you may be eligible for government funded cavity wall insulation. Of course, your financial situation will be taken into account.

Those who live in social housing with an energy rating of E, F or G can often qualify. Households receiving benefits (such as Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payments) may often be eligible.

These companies are duly obliged to offer grants that can help those in need to enhance the energy efficiency of their homes for good, without costing you a penny.

The grants available with the ECO scheme and LA Flex funding tend to cover many different types of insulation, depending on your property age and type. This includes cavity wall and loft insulation, as well as first time central heating and boiler replacements.

Benefits of cavity wall insulation

Cavity wall insulation requires the installation of insulating material in the cavity (space) between two layers of brick. This can be done at the time of a build or as a retrofit measure. Here are five key benefits to cavity wall insulation that you might be able to receive without having to spend a penny of your hard-earned money:

  • Available for free if you qualify for government ECO or LA FLEX grant schemes
  • Keep more of your property’s heat that is lost through uninsulated walls
  • Maintaining a good temperature for your home offers comfort and health benefits
  • Cavity wall insulation helps reduce your property’s carbon footprint
  • Cavity wall insulation is quick and simple to retrofit when you choose an approved installer like Lifetime Savings

 

Cavity walls Vs Solid walls: What’s the difference?

  • Properties built after the 1920s typically have cavity walls. The cavity is the gap created by two walls of brick.
  • Older properties built circa pre-1920s most commonly have solid brick or stone walls with no cavity.

Typically, properties built up to 2002 and beyond will already have cavity wall insulation, but properties older than that are unlikely to have cavity wall insulation whatsoever.

That’s where we are able to help.
