Insulation
On Tuesday morning we had our appointment to get the underfloor insulation completed at home. Two young men turned up bright and early and spent about 5 hours topping up the insulation in the ceiling before making sure everything under the house was done. There is a government grant here called the "Healthy Homes Scheme" which enables those living in older houses to get up to a standard of being warm and safe. Because my house was built in the 1930s and although we have a DVS system, a heat pump and a multifuel fire in the lounge we still qualify for it, it wasn't 100% free as we still had a small contribution ourselves to pay but it's well worth it I think.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's Signs.

We do similar things here. It's not done by government grants but the utilities finance it and they can add the cost to their ratebase which they are alowed to make a rate of return on.
