Infographic: Boost Your Pension Pot by Insulating Your Home
Today I am sharing with you an infographic provided by Insulation Express, a UK company that supplies home insulation materials of all kinds.
Although nobody is going to save enough money to fund their retirement just by fitting insulation, the potential savings on fuel bills certainly give food for thought.
As you will see, the earlier you start, the bigger the potential savings. But even people who are already retired can make substantial savings by insulating their lofts, floors and/or walls. Payback periods vary according to the type of insulation (and what insulation you had before, if any) but as the graphic shows, they can be as short as two years.
Thank you to Insulation Express for an attractive and thought-provoking graphic. More information about the cost-benefits of cavity wall insulation can be found here, with information on solid wall insulation here and loft insulation here.

Brilliant infographics and great tips! Quite shocked at the saving with energy efficient appliances (and now very glad I made sure the fridge, washing machine & dishwasher in recent years have been at least A+). Very useful post to save pennies! x
