With the Government announcing the new National Retrofitting Scheme in early February, homeowners can now avail of the highest ever grant for home insulation. Galway company West Coast Insulation has been dealing with these grants for many years and can help homeowners apply for the grants. The company will take the grant amount directly off the price, so homeowners do not need to wait for the grant to come through afterwards.
Below are the total grant amounts available for cavity wall and attic insulation. Furthermore, the grant now covers houses built before 2011; previously it had only been houses built before 2006, so this will allow many more houses to be eligible for the grant scheme.
Detached house – grant €3498.70.
Semidetached/end-of-terrace – grant €2798.70.
Mid-terrace house – grant €2298.70.
Apartment – grant €1705.70.
West Coast Insulation has been a leading installer of home insulation in Galway and Mayo for more than 14 years. The company focuses on two key areas: using the best products and having experienced, professional staff. As a family company, the team at West Coast Insulation have always prided themselves on providing the highest quality service and with the new grants available, it makes sense to upgrade now.
For cavity wall insulation, West Coast Insulation installs Kingspan EcoBead Platinum which is the highest quality bonded bead available. For attics, the company uses Knauf Rolled Attic Insulation and Rockwool Blown Attic Insulation.
John Folan from West Coast Insulation said: “Once a home is properly insulated, the homeowners will feel the house is naturally at a warmer temperature and when the heating is on, the house will retain the heat much longer. Draughts and air circulating from the attic can also be an issue so we always insulate all attic access doors. We have seen heating bills increase a lot lately and it really makes sense to avail of the grants and upgrade your insulation now.”
