Insulation is one of the most effective materials you can fit to enhance your extension. It helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. By keeping your house at a comfortable temperature all year round you won’t spend money on air con and central heating, saving you costs on utility bills.

Energy-efficient appliances are a great way to help keep your energy use down. Some of the products we recommend looking into include:
