Improve your energy efficiency rating
Your EPC rating (Energy Performance Certificate) shows how much your house costs to heat and light and how you can make it more energy-efficient. Insulation makes a huge difference to your EPC rating.
Moving house? Whether you're buying, selling or both – a good EPC rating adds value to the property. So you'll either add value to the home you're selling or you'll be purchasing an energy-efficient home that will cost you less to run!
Keep healthy
Keep your home cosier, keep mould away and stay healthy!
Thinking long-term
If you're thinking long-term – insulation is a huge positive for when you sell. Making sure your home is fully insulated can improve your EPC rating, and therefore makes your home more attractive to buyers.
