Do you feel bitter over your heating bill? If your utility firm has not made any errors,so there is no miscalculations in the energy bill,you should take time to think about what you can do differently to lessen your bill. What many customers will often be totally ignorant about is the relationship between damp walls causing penetrating damp and your ever growing heating bills.
In the modern world,the bare minimum you can reasonably take for granted, in particular in the winter and Autumn, is to have a comfortably heated home without having to go into debt.The cost of the heating bill should not be unaffordable. Against this background if you feel your rooms cannot seem to keep a high temperature when the weather turns cold although running the heating on the maximum temperature you should start to think in terms of an energy report of the quantity of wall insulation in your property.
Start with the most critical: the exterior facing walls of your home. Solid walls are responsible for at least 40% of all heat loss. Therefore,are the outside walls as dry as they should be? If your house has walls with an air gap between you should consider cavity insulation inserted into the gap to cut heat from escaping. Often companies who provide cavity insulation will also inspect insulating any attic areas whilst at your home.
Now considering the outside surface of the walls you should survey the external bricks and the roofing tiles to search for any gaps or holes that rainwater can get through. Additionally any holes in the walls or around windows will mean additional heat loss and makes damp walls even colder.
It makes financial sense to think about installing a damp proof paint on the exterior wall surfaces. By protecting the masonry from water ingress your walls will keep dry and 29% more efficient at retaining heat within the house.
Modern damp- proofing exterior wall coatings are available as coloured or clear and so are suitable for every home regardless of style or age of the property.
