Case Study: How External Wall Insulation Transformed This Family Home

ECO4 Funding Insulation News

The Problem

This mid-terraced family home was suffering from poor energy efficiency. With little insulation in place, the property was losing heat rapidly through its external walls. The homeowners noticed cold draughts during winter, rising energy bills, and a general struggle to keep rooms warm — especially at night.

They needed a long-term solution that would keep the heat in, reduce energy usage, and help lower their monthly costs.

The Solution – External Wall Insulation via ECO4

After a free home survey from the Elite Energy team, it was clear that External Wall Insulation (EWI) would make a significant difference. The best part? The entire upgrade was fully funded through the ECO4 scheme, meaning the homeowners didn’t pay a penny.

By wrapping the property in a thermal layer and applying a protective render finish, we could lock in heat, cut down on waste, and give the home a fresh, modern look.

The Process

Over the course of just a few days, our installation team:

  • Fitted high-performance insulation boards to the external walls

  • Reinforced the structure with mesh and breathable render

  • Applied a durable, clean finish to boost kerb appeal

  • Ensured minimal disruption to the family throughout the process

The Result

The transformation was immediate.

  • Rooms retained heat for longer

  • Gas usage reduced significantly

  • The property looked newly renovated from the outside

This family now enjoys a warmer, more comfortable living space and the long-term benefit of lower energy bills — all thanks to ECO4 funding.
