How Much Do Energy Efficiency Upgrades Cost?
Energy efficiency upgrades typically cost around £1,000 to £3,000, depending on the specific services required. Factors influencing the price include the size of your property, the types of insulation installed, and the complexity of the upgrade.
For instance, loft insulation might range from £300 to £500, whereas cavity wall insulation could cost from £500 to £1,500. Other considerations include the use of double-glazed windows, which can improve thermal efficiency, and the installation of draught-proofing measures to reduce heat loss.
We also evaluate the energy performance certificates (EPC) to identify further improvements. Each project is unique, and we provide detailed quotes based on an initial survey of your property.
Our assessments comply with industry standards such as the PAS 2030 accreditation, ensuring quality installations. Contact our team today for a customised quote tailored to your specific requirements.
What Types of Energy Efficiency Upgrades Are Available?
At A1Insulation, we offer a range of energy efficiency upgrades, including:
Cavity Wall Insulation: Using materials like mineral wool or expanded polystyrene beads, this method reduces heat loss through walls and is often suitable for properties built after 1920 with unfilled cavities.
Loft Insulation: We install materials such as glass wool or sheepskin rolls to minimise heat loss through the roof, aiming to achieve a depth of around 270 mm to meet UK Building Regulations.
Draught-proofing: Sealing gaps around doors, windows, and floors using weatherstripping or draught excluders to prevent air leaks and improve thermal comfort.
Pipe and Tank Insulation: Retains heat in water systems by using insulative materials like foam sleeves and jackets, which can improve the efficiency of your heating system by up to 30%.
Each option targets specific areas of energy loss, helping to optimise overall energy efficiency. We cater to various property types, from residential homes to commercial premises.

How Long Does It Take to Complete Energy Efficiency Upgrades?
The duration of energy efficiency upgrades varies, typically taking one to four days to complete, depending on the scope of work. Loft insulation, using materials like mineral wool or fibreglass, may be completed in a single day.
More extensive upgrades, such as cavity wall insulation, which often involves drilling into walls and filling gaps with polystyrene beads or polyurethane foam, could require up to four days. Additionally, installing double-glazed windows may take another two to three days, impacting the overall timeline.
Timeframes can differ based on property size and the specific measures required. For example, a detached house may need additional time compared to a terraced home due to increased surface area.
We always strive to work efficiently, minimising disruption while ensuring the highest standards of quality and care. Contact us to plan your upgrade today.
What Are the Benefits of Energy Efficiency Upgrades?
Energy efficiency upgrades offer numerous benefits, including:
Reduced Energy Bills: Lower heating costs by minimising heat loss with materials such as thermal insulation made from fibreglass or mineral wool. These materials help maintain heat within the building envelope according to British Standard BS EN 13162.
Increased Comfort: Maintain consistent indoor temperatures with improvements like draught-proofing and energy-efficient glazing, which provide additional thermal resistance and reduce unwanted airflow.
Environmental Impact: Decrease your carbon footprint by relying less on fossil fuels and supporting green energy systems like solar panels or heat pumps, aligning with the UK's commitment to net-zero emissions targets.
Enhanced Property Value: Improve your home's marketability by ensuring it meets energy performance standards reflected in an upgraded Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), appealing to eco-conscious buyers.
Implementing these upgrades not only benefits your wallet but also contributes to environmental conservation and aligns with evolving environmental regulations. Reach out to us for more information on harnessing these advantages for your home.
