Cavity wall insulation grants are provided by heating companies as part of a government intiative to reduce the energy used to heat our homes. Everyone is entitled to a grant, worth between 45% and 75% of the cost of insulation. Some people are entitled to a grant covering 100% of the costs.
Cavity wall insulation 'pays for itself' quickly, as it can reduce the heat lost from a house by as much as 35%.
Viscount works with homeowners to determine the best grant they are entitled to, guiding them through the (sometimes confusing!) process. You are eligible for totally free cavity wall insulation if you are:
