When you invest in improving your home's energy efficiency with insulation, ventilation is just as important. Whether you're getting Internal Wall Insulation (IWI), Cavity Wall Insulation, Loft Insulation, or a Room-in-Roof upgrade, proper ventilation ensures your home remains healthy, safe, and comfortable for years to come. The good news? Under current schemes like ECO4, ventilation is installed free of charge alongside these insulation measures.
Why Ventilation is Essential
Adding insulation makes your home warmer and more airtight. While this is great for saving energy, it can also trap moisture if there isn’t adequate airflow. Without proper ventilation, condensation and damp can develop, which can damage your property and affect your health. That’s why ventilation is part of every insulation upgrade.
Benefits of Ventilation in Your Home
Prevent Damp and Mould: Ventilation removes excess moisture and humid air, protecting your walls, ceilings, and floors from damp problems.
Maintain Insulation Performance: Proper airflow helps your insulation work effectively over time by preventing trapped moisture.
Improve Indoor Air Quality: Ventilation brings in fresh air and removes pollutants, making your home healthier.
Increase Home Comfort: Balanced ventilation helps regulate temperature, ensuring your home feels fresh, warm, and pleasant.
What Ventilation Will Be Installed
As part of your insulation upgrade, installers will assess your home and install ventilation where needed, completely free of charge:
Wired Mechanical Vents (dMEV): In kitchens and wet rooms (like bathrooms and utility rooms), these fans run continuously at a low level to remove moisture and prevent condensation.
Window Trickle Vents: Small vents added to windows in bedrooms and living rooms allow a constant flow of fresh air.
Door Undercuts: Small gaps under internal doors help air circulate around your home.
Why This Matters Now
By combining insulation with ventilation, you get a complete home energy upgrade that keeps you warm, reduces bills, and protects your property. Best of all, these ventilation measures are included free of charge when you qualify for insulation through schemes like ECO4 or GBIS.
