When it’s cold you lose heat from your head. And it’s the same with your house. Without enough insulation, you could be losing over 50% of your home’s heat through the roof and walls.
It might surprise you to know that 2 out of 3 Scottish lofts don’t have enough insulation.
When it gets cold outside, one of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep the heat in and save money is to make sure that you have the right amount of insulation. So how can you find out if your home needs topping up?
The Home Energy Scotland Hotline can help
This winter, you could save energy and money by calling the Home Energy Scotland Hotline from the Scottish Government.
They’ll help you find out what type and level of insulation you have in your home, and whether you could do with an extra layer. Even if you just need a loft top up, you’ll really notice the difference in warmth and could save £50 a year on your energy bills.
And the Hotline could save you even more by helping you get discounted or free loft and cavity wall insulation thanks to funding from the Scottish Government.
So instead of turning up the thermostat, why not give the Home Energy Scotland Hotline a call. It really is worth it – you could end up paying a lot less on your energy bills this winter.
