If your home is over 30 years old, there’s a good chance your loft has little to no insulation — and that could be costing you more than you think. At Energius, we specialise in helping homeowners across the UK make their homes warmer, greener, and more energy efficient through government-backed insulation schemes like ECO4, LA FLEX and GBIS.
Here’s why loft insulation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make — especially in older homes.
Many homes built before the 1990s were constructed without adequate insulation in the roof space. Back then, energy efficiency wasn’t a top priority — but today, rising energy bills and new minimum EPC standards make insulation more important than ever.
If your property was built over 30 years ago, it may:
Have no insulation at all in the loft
Have insulation that’s well below modern standards (less than 100mm thick)
Be losing up to 25% of heat through the roof
That means your heating system is working overtime just to keep the house warm — and you’re paying the price.

🌡️ How Loft Insulation Helps
Loft insulation acts as a thermal barrier, trapping heat inside your home during winter and keeping it cooler during summer. Properly insulating your loft can:
✅ Reduce heat loss through the roof
✅ Lower your heating bills
✅ Improve your EPC rating
✅ Make your home more comfortable all year round
💰 Government Support – Get It FREE!
The good news? You may be eligible for free loft insulation under the ECO4, LA FLEX or GBIS schemes. These government-funded grants are designed to help households cut energy bills and improve energy efficiency — and older homes often qualify due to their low EPC ratings.
