Galway company West Coast Insulation is advising homeowners to take advantage of the Government grants and insulate before the cooler months set in.
John Folan from West Coast Insulation advised: “Insulation grants are still in place for homeowners who decide to upgrade their insulation. Insulated homes will save heat and money for many years to come. Good quality insulation keeps the house warm in winter and also keep the heat out in the summer – meaning the house will be a more comfortable temperature all year round. The scheme to install upgraded insulation has increased the amounts involved to €3,250 [detached houses], €2,550 [semidetached], €2,050 for mid-terrace and €1,550 for apartments. This usually covers a large percentage of the overall cost of the work and the works can usually be completed in one working day.”
West Coast Insulation will provide a free quotation to customers and advise them on the most suitable insulation for their home. Once the home is insulated, it will remain warmer all winter and keep the house cooler in the summer months.
When insulating a house, the company injects EcoBead Platinum Bonded Bead into the cavity walls, even when there is existing insulation. This significantly improves the heat retention and also fills in any gaps in the older insulation. The company installs Knauf insulation in the attics of new or existing homes. John Folan noted: “Most attics have some existing fibreglass insulation at around 100-150mm depth. The problem with fibreglass is that it shrinks over time and need to be replaced. We install further insulation to over 300mm, giving the best U-values possible. We also fit the insulating jackets and lids around the tanks, fit the heavy duty 19mm lagging on the pipes and insulate and draught proof the attics doors to eliminate draughts.”
