Insulating your home is important because heat naturally flows from warm areas to cooler areas. Insulation keeps the heat in our homes efficiently in winter and increasingly, keeps our 
homes cool in summer! The effect of insulation can be dramatic, saving up to 50% of the energy needed to heat a home which in turn means significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Some types of insulation can be very basic DIY jobs such as draught-proofing windows and doors. More significant work may be possible to do yourself but may also be more appropriate for professional installation. In many cases grants are available from sources like government, local authority or in some cases your energy supply company to pay towards the cost of home insulation.
