The benefits of professionally installed attic insulation by ESI Green Energy Ireland
Reduced Noise In Your Home
Once your attic is properly insulated, you should be able to notice a reduction in the outside noise, especially when it comes to the upper floor of your house.
At least a quarter of an uninsulated homes heat is lost through its roof.
The whole aim of insulating your loft is to minimise this heat loss by creating a thermal barrier, preventing heat from rising and disappearing through your roof.
Attic insulation can help you save up to €300 each year on a consistent basis. This directly applies to your energy bills. And with loft insulation have a life span of over 40 years it will pay for itself many times over.
What Is The Recommended Depth For Attic Insulation?
Current building regulations states that a minimum 300mm of attic insulation is required. Some homes will only require a 'top-up'.
Can Your Insulation Be Placed Directly Over My Recessed Ceiling Lights?
No, the recessed lights must NOT be covered directly with insulation. ESI installation teams will install fire rated covers over the lights, which protects them from overheating, stops the heat loss, reduces draughts and risk of condensation, improves air-tightness and insect infiltration
Does Installing Insulation Increase The Risk Of Condensation In My Attic?
Our Surveyor will assess your roof ventilation and if necessary, we will install new roof tile, slate or soffit vents.
There Isn't Space To Stand In My Attic, Will This Be An Issue During Installation?
This is not uncommon, and any potential issues will be picked up during the surveying stage
