That means there\u2019s a considerable amount to be saved every year by implementing loft lagging in your home.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nAs heat naturally rises it\u2019ll be lost through the roof. With insulation in place in your loft or attic, you\u2019ll reduce annual heating bills by up to \u00a3175, for 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the installation cost is only between \u00a3100 and \u00a3350, payback for loft insulation only stretches to two years.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this you\u2019ll be reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 700kg annually, helping to reduce the effects of global warming on the planet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wall cavity insulation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Potential saving: \u00a3135 annually<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For uninsulated homes, a third of all heat loss is through the walls. This is cranking up your energy bills and ensuring your home is colder in winter.<\/p>\n<p>Most properties built after 1990 should have adequate insulation to retain heat in the home, but it\u2019s the buildings dating prior to this that will most likely have a problem. If this includes you, then having wall cavity insulation installed will instantly see you saving money.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, most property walls can be insulated and typical savings would be \u00a3135 a year, simply from wall cavity insulation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Replacement boiler<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Potential saving: \u00a3300 annually<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Around 60% of your home\u2019s yearly energy bills is made up from heat, say the Energy Saving Trust (EST).
