from The Property Nomads Podcast · host Rob Smallbone & Aaron Devoy
Rob discusses the issue of households wasting money on energy bills due to poor insulation, with millions reportedly wasting £500 a year. He provides advice on how to lower energy bills by improving insulation in homes, covering areas such as wall cavity, loft, floor insulation, and double glazing KEY TAKEAWAYS Millions of households are wasting £500 a year on energy bills due to poor insulation. Ways to improve energy efficiency include checking wall cavity, loft, floor insulation, and double glazing. Local councils may offer funding for home improvements to increase efficiency. Consider options like loft insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation to reduce heat loss. Be cautious when choosing companies for home improvements and consider going through the council for familiarity and comfort. BEST MOMENTS "There's a lot of talk as always about insulation and people wasting a lot of unnecessary cash on energy." "So in short, yes, we're slowly getting better at having more economical homes. But we're a long way off from where we need to be." "If there is funding available to get loft installation or wall installation, and you're going to get it installed for free or with a minor contribution, then it's worth looking at, absolutely." "Just beware if you're doing it on the outside of your home that will change the appearance of your home if you're doing it on the inside that will decrease the usable floor space." "I would always say through experience, be careful and do your homework on all the other companies maybe that are offering these services because if they're not regulated or they haven't got the right certificates or the right requirements, then, you know, that could lead to disaster."
