Factors That Maximize Your Savings

Understanding these factors helps you get the most from your loft insulation investment

Current Insulation Level

Properties with no insulation or less than 100mm see the biggest savings. Manchester homes built before 1980 typically have inadequate insulation.

  • • No insulation: Up to £500+ annual savings
  • • Under 100mm: £300-400 annual savings
  • • 100-200mm: £150-250 annual savings

Heating Type & Fuel Costs

Different heating systems and fuel types affect potential savings. Electric heating typically sees higher savings due to higher unit costs.

  • • Electric heating: 30% higher savings
  • • Gas heating: Standard savings calculations
  • • Oil heating: 20% higher savings
  • • LPG heating: 25% higher savings

Property Size & Type

Larger properties and those with more exposed roof area typically achieve greater absolute savings, though percentage savings remain consistent.

  • • Detached houses: Highest savings potential
  • • Semi-detached: Good savings opportunity
  • • Terraced: Moderate but significant savings
  • • Top floor flats: Limited but worthwhile savings

Property Age & Construction

Older properties typically see greater savings due to poorer existing insulation and less efficient construction methods.

  • • Pre-1960: Maximum savings potential
  • • 1960-1980: High savings potential
  • • 1980-2000: Moderate savings potential
  • • Post-2000: Lower but still worthwhile savings

Household Usage Patterns

Families who spend more time at home or prefer warmer temperatures will see greater savings from improved insulation.

  • • High usage households: Maximum savings
  • • Standard usage: Expected savings levels
  • • Low usage: Reduced but significant savings
  • • Seasonal occupancy: Proportional savings

Future Energy Price Trends

Energy prices continue to rise, making insulation an even better investment. Your savings will likely increase over time.

  • • Historical 5% annual price increases
  • • Net zero targets driving prices up
  • • Carbon taxes increasing costs
  • • Insulation provides price protection
