Our Insulation & Energy Efficiency Services
The first step to making your house more energy-efficient is to carry out the recommended upgrades. At EcoTarget, we specialize in insulation and glazing solutions that we have proven to work by all means, heavens, no less, and that reduce energy consumption and, therefore, energy bills as well. The UK government could fund the majority of these services, mainly through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme and Green Homes Grant.
Here’s a very brief account of how each service helps protect the home against energy waste.
Loft Insulation
One of the most efficient methods to cut heat loss is loft insulation. The warm air rises, and without insulation, a significant amount escapes through the roof. Proper loft insulation installation helps keep the warmth indoors in winter and the coolness in summer.
This upgrade is very quick, very efficient, and often entirely paid for by government grants. It is generally the very first thing to be done when considering making the house more energy-efficient.
Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity wall insulation (CWI) helps prevent loss of heat from the exterior walls of a house by creating an insulating barrier within the cavity of the wall. CWI helps keep your house warm and can save you money on your heating bills by providing a long-term solution to heat loss. Properly installed CWI can last for many decades.
Flat Roof Insulation
Flat roofs tend to lose more heat than pitched roofs, but with proper flat roof insulation, heat loss through a flat roof can be significantly reduced. When properly insulated, flat roofs create a thermal barrier to help keep heat in and protect the structural integrity of the roof.
Flat roof insulation is typically found on extensions, garages, and modern-style homes built with flat roofs. Flat roof insulation not only adds warmth to a flat roof but also helps reduce condensation buildup on/under the flat roof.
Underfloor Insulation
In addition to creating an insulated barrier, underfloor insulations will also maintain a more consistent temperature inside your home by reducing the number of draughts entering from below. Many people consider underfloor insulations to be one of the most overlooked home improvements that has a significant impact on the comfort level of their home.
External Wall Insulation
External wall insulation is designed for homes with solid walls. Insulation boards are applied to the outside of the property and finished with protective render.
This service significantly improves energy efficiency while also enhancing the external appearance of the home. It offers strong insulation performance and weather protection.
Internal Wall Insulation
Internal wall insulation is an alternative for properties where external insulation is not suitable. It is added to the inside walls to reduce heat loss.
This solution improves the warmth room by room and works well in flats or conservation areas where exterior changes are restricted.
Double Glazing
Windows play a significant role in allowing heat to escape from homes. Double glazing is a technique that uses two sheets of glass separated by an airspace, thus giving the homeowner an option to have a thermal break.
Double glazing provides increased thermal efficiency, sound attenuation and condensation control, increased comfort, and increased security.
Secondary Glazing
People use Secondary Glazing when they install an additional glass pane on the inside of an existing window, effectively improving insulation without altering the external surface of a property.
It is a cost-effective way of reducing heat loss and outside noise in many older homes and listed buildings.
Draught Proofing
Draughts are small openings in windows, doors, and floorboards, which allow cold air to come into the house and hot air to escape. By sealing these openings with Draught Proofing, homeowners can reduce their heating costs and improve their comfort immediately. The combination of insulation upgrades and draught proofing results in a significant improvement in thermal performance.
Why These Services Matter
Each of these services targets a specific area where homes lose energy. When combined, they create a warmer, more efficient property that costs less to run. Improved insulations are also reduces carbon emissions and supports a more sustainable future.
Many households are eligible for UK government grants that can cover part or all of the cost. Checking eligibility before starting work can lead to significant savings.
Conclusion
Energy efficiency is not about one single upgrade. It is about choosing the right services for your home and installing them correctly. Loft insulations, wall insulations, glazing, and draught proofing all work together to reduce heat loss and improve comfort.
If you are planning to upgrade your home, focusing on these targeted services is a smart place to start. Checking your eligibility for government funding could mean improving your home at little or no cost.
