Energy efficiency at home begins with home insulation, which helps to keep heat inside during winter and cool during summer. Loft insulation, internal wall insulation, underfloor insulation, and cavity wall insulation are some of the types of insulation that can be used in a home.
Typically, loft insulation is laid on top of the existing floor to form a barrier between the living space below and the roof space above. This can reduce heat loss by 25% by preventing heat from escaping through the roof.
To insulate internal walls, you can either add insulation between two layers of drywall or attach insulation panels directly to the walls. A layer of this type of insulation can prevent up to 45% of heat from escaping through the wall.
To prevent heat loss through the floor, under-floor insulation is installed between the joists. Heat loss can be reduced by up to 25% with this type of insulation, which is particularly useful in homes with suspended timber floors.
Cavity wall insulation involves insulating a property’s cavity between its inner and outer walls. It can help to reduce heat loss through the walls by up to 35% with this type of insulation.
As a result of poor insulation, a house can lose a significant amount of heat, resulting in higher energy bills. Improved insulation in a home reduces energy bills, improves the energy efficiency of a home, and reduces carbon emissions.

I would love to put in a battery storage system but the pay back is too long.
Grants should be available to make it easier
