OUR SERVICES
Energy-Efficiency Solutions
Insulation Direct is your trusted partner in creating a more energy-efficient and comfortable living space. From loft insulation to smart heating controls, our services are designed to enhance your home’s warmth, reduce energy bills, and contribute to a greener planet.
New Energy Efficient Boiler
Modern boilers are designed to be highly efficient. They can have an AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of up to 98.5%, meaning they convert almost all the fuel they consume into usable heat. This efficiency translates to lower operating costs and reduced energy bills.
Smart Heating Controls
Allow you to set up a schedule for when your heating comes on and turns off, as well as adjust the temperature. These smart thermostats not only enhance comfort but also help save energy and reduce costs by intelligently managing your home’s climate.
First-time Central Heating
This is intended for homes that do not have and have never previously had a central heating system. By securing up to £30,000 ECO4 Funding, you can enjoy a cosy house with modern A-rated boilers, energy-efficient radiators, and significant savings on utility bills.
Solar Panels
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are remarkable devices that harness the sun’s energy and convert it into usable electricity. The captured electrical current is then transformed into usable energy, which can power your home and appliances.
Air Source Heat Pump
Absorbs heat from the outdoor air and releases it inside your home. It operates using a vapor-compression refrigeration process, similar to an air conditioner, but in reverse. It can deliver up to three times more heat energy to your home than the electrical energy it consumes.
Hybrid Air Source Heat Pump
This is a system that combines an air source heat pump with a gas or oil boiler/furnace to provide heating or hot water. This hybrid approach is useful when a heat pump alone cannot meet the demands for heating or hot water, especially in colder outdoor temperatures.
Loft Insulation
Prevent heat-loss through the floor, reduce monthly energy bills and eliminate cold draughts in your home.
Cavity Wall Insulation
Acts like a cosy blanket, trapping heat within your home. It ensures a pleasant temperature and minimises the need for air conditioning.
Room in Roof Insulation
Keep your converted loft cosy and warm. Let’s trap heat within your home, and prevent heat escaping through your roof.
Internal Wall Insulation
Internal wall insulation is a non-intrusive method that doesn’t affect the external appearance of a property. It offers homeowners the opportunity to upgrade insulation without major construction work.

Insulation Removal
Safe and efficient extraction of old or damaged insulation, enhancing your property's energy efficiency and addressing issues like dampness or vermin.
Loft Boarding
Solid wall insulation aims to improve the energy efficiency of properties with solid walls. Unlike cavity walls (which have an air gap), solid walls lack this gap, making them less energy-efficient.
Underfloor Insulation
Underfloor insulation aims to reduce heat loss and energy wastage through the floor of your home. It involves adding insulating material beneath the floorboards or within the floor structure.
Many of our services
are subsidised by Government grants.
The UK government’s Energy
Company Obligation Scheme (ECO) was introduced to help vulnerable homeowners across England, Scotland and Wales with the reduction
of their energy bills.

The Benefits of Better Insulation in UK Homes: A Comprehensive Guide
The Benefits of Better Insulation in UK Homes: A Comprehensive Guide
Insulating your home effectively is one of the most impactful improvements you can make. Not only does it enhance comfort and reduce energy bills, but it also contributes significantly to environmental sustainability. In this blog, we'll explore the numerous benefits of better insulation for UK homes and delve into the ECO4 scheme.
Key Benefits of Better Insulation
1. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
One of the primary benefits of better insulation is improved energy efficiency. Insulation acts as a barrier, preventing heat from escaping in the winter and keeping your home cool in the summer. This results in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling, leading to substantial cost savings on your energy bills.
Reduced Heating Costs: Properly insulated homes require less energy to heat, which can significantly lower your heating bills. For more details on insulating your home, visit Insulation Direct.
Lower Cooling Expenses: In the summer, insulation helps keep your home cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning.
2. Enhanced Comfort
Better insulation creates a more comfortable living environment by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. This means fewer cold spots in winter and a cooler home in summer, making your living space more enjoyable year-round.
Consistent Temperatures: No more chilly drafts or overly hot rooms.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Insulation can also reduce the infiltration of outdoor pollutants, improving indoor air quality. Learn more about the types of insulation available at Insulation Direct.
3. Environmental Benefits
By reducing energy consumption, better insulation directly contributes to lower carbon emissions. This makes it an eco-friendly choice that supports broader environmental goals.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Lower energy usage means fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable Living: Investing in insulation is a step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
4. Increased Property Value
Homes with better insulation are more attractive to potential buyers. Improved energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and enhanced comfort make your property more marketable and can increase its value.
Higher Resale Value: Energy-efficient homes are in demand, and insulation can be a key selling point. Discover how insulation can enhance your home's value at Insulation Direct.
Attractive Investment: Potential buyers are often willing to pay more for homes that offer long-term savings.
ECO4 Scheme: Supporting Better Insulation
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain designed to reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The latest phase, ECO4, focuses on providing energy efficiency improvements for low-income households and those living in fuel poverty.
Eligibility: ECO4 targets vulnerable households, ensuring they receive the necessary support to improve their home's energy efficiency.
Improvements Covered: The scheme includes measures like wall insulation, loft insulation, and other energy-saving upgrades.
Funding: ECO4 funding is provided by energy companies obligated to meet certain energy-saving targets. For more information on how to benefit from the ECO4 scheme, check out Insulation Direct.
By taking advantage of the ECO4 scheme, homeowners can receive financial assistance for insulation improvements, making it more affordable to enhance their home's energy efficiency. This not only helps in reducing energy bills but also contributes to a more sustainable and comfortable living environment.
Conclusion
Investing in better insulation for your UK home offers numerous benefits, from significant cost savings and enhanced comfort to environmental sustainability and increased property value. With the support of the ECO4 scheme, improving your home's insulation is more accessible than ever. For comprehensive information on insulation options and to take advantage of the ECO4 scheme, visit Insulation Direct.
Improving your home's insulation is a smart and forward-thinking investment that pays off in many ways. Make the change today and enjoy a more comfortable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly home.
