What is external wall insulation?
Did you know that over a third of your home’s heat can escape through uninsulated external walls? External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a smart and effective way to reduce that loss, especially in older or ‘hard to heat’ properties. With support from the ECO 4 government grant, eligible homeowners in Wales can have this installed completely free of charge, improving comfort and cutting costs without paying a penny.
What are the benefits of external wall insulation?
Adding insulation to the outside of your home brings lots of everyday advantages. It helps your home hold onto more warmth, meaning you’ll need less heating to stay cosy. That can make a big difference to your energy bills, especially in the colder months.
External wall insulation can also make your home feel more comfortable all year round by stopping cold spots and cutting out draughts. It’s great for the environment too, as it lowers the amount of energy you use and helps reduce carbon emissions.
