If your home’s loft insulation is currently 10cm deep or less, your home would benefit from increasing the amount of insulation to current building regulation levels of 27cm or more.
As your home loses the majority of it’s heat through the roof, fully insulating your loft helps to retain heat in your home, which in turn reduces your fuel bills and amount of carbon emissions produced.
Loft Insulation Grants are available to homeowners and tenants that meet the ECO eligibility criteria.
The grant amount awarded varies based on the property type and current heating system. Homes with more expensive to run fuel bills will save more money through loft insulation and therefore receive higher grants. Homes with Mains Gas heating currently receive lower value grants and are therefore likely to have to also contribute towards the cost of the installation.
In addition to Loft Insulation, we are also able to offer grants for suspended timber floors (ground floor only) and wall insulation for both Cavity & Solid walls.
Please note that QERB Energy only use bead insulation for cavity walls to avoid damp issues that can be associated with fibre/wool products.
Rural Home Grant Application

(The recommended depth for mineral wool insulation is 270mm but other materials need different depths). Figures are based on fuel prices as of March 2016. Provided by EnergySavingsTrust.
