Cavity wall insulation
Summary
About 35% of heat is lost through walls which are not well insulated. Cavity wall insulation will greatly reduce your heating bills, retain the heat inside during the winter, and keep the house cooler during the summer. It will also provide warmer, drier and healthier living conditions and can alleviate condensation and mould problems.

Insulation grants
If you need to improve the insulation in the walls of your home, grants are available to help with the cost, including the Warm Front Grant (details below) – if you are a homeowner or you rent from a private landlord. The Broadland Energy Team can give you advice on the most appropriate grants.They are in our Long Stratton offices every Tuesday and Thursday, and their contact details are below.
Warm Front Grant
Warm Front makes homes warmer, healthier and more energy efficient. The Warm Front Grant provides a package of insulation and heating improvements up to the value of £2,700 (or £4,000 if oil central heating is recommended). It is a Government funded initiative, and the scheme is managed by Eaga.
If you own your own home or rent it from a private landlord, you may be eligible for a grant under the Warm Front Scheme. Visit the Warm Front website [external link] for full details.
