Free home insulation grants are now available in Northern Ireland to help homeowners upgrade their homes and make them more energy-efficient.

Home insulation is a great first step in enhancing your homes energy efficiency – and these grants are here to help NI homeowners in the journey to net zero as part of the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme (NISEP). Not to mention all of the great energy and cost saving benefits of a well-insulated home. In fact, an average semi-detached home in Northern Ireland could save up to £300 per year on energy bills by installing adequate loft and cavity wall insulation.

Loft or roofspace insulation is a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss in your home. This works by having wool insulation laid over your attic floor, where air pockets trap heat and keep it in your home, helping to reduce your energy bills by up to 20%.

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap or cavity between the inner and outer walls of your home with insulation materials. This works to improve the thermal performance by trapping heat from escaping through your walls.
