Save money - insulate your loft cheaply now

Filed Under Finance

With autumn upon us, we will soon be turning our central heating systems on so our energy costs are going to rise again. This is one of the reasons why we published some handy tips about how to save money on fuel bills on MoneyHighStreet.com.

As we mentioned in that article, insulating your loft properly is a great investment as once it’s done, you reap the rewards of lower heating costs year after year. Depending on the size of your loft, you will probably recoup the costs of loft insulation within two years - three at most.

Improving your loft insulation will also be beneficial when your home is inspected for its energy efficiency report as part of the HIP, if you decide to sell your house in the future.

Now is the time to improve your loft insulation so that you benefit as soon as the weather gets colder. Another powerful reason is that B&Q have a sale of loft insulation products at the moment so you can save £4.75 per roll of the excellent Knauf Space Blanket insulation. It’s really easy to lay and at these prices is a real bargain.

I took a trip to B&Q last night and filled the car with this insulation. It took me ten minutes to cover a third of the loft with it when I got back. A couple of more trips to B&Q before they raise their prices again and the job will be done.

It’ll really make a difference to our gas bills in the next few months.

Saving money on this insulation now will mean making savings on your heating bills for as long as you live in your house.
