Confused.com Reveals Brits are Losing GBP2.5 Billion Through Poor Insulation

CARDIFF, Wales, December 13, 2010 - Confused.com, the home insurance and quote comparison site, has revealed
that homeowners in Britain are wasting an estimated GBP2.5 billion through
poor insulation in their homes.

Of the 26.5 million homes in the UK, only 13 million have loft
insulation, which is a major energy saving method for retaining heat in the
home. Confused.com estimates that the lack of loft and cavity wall insulation
is costing the nation GBP2,493,500,000 a year.

In addition to this only 10 million homes have cavity wall insulation.
Figures suggest households can save GBP145 per year for loft insulation and
GBP110 for cavity wall insulation on their energy bills, meaning the nation
could be collectively wasting an estimated GBP2 billion.

Lisa Greenfield, energy analyst at Confused.com (www.confused.com/
), said: "All this snow means now is the perfect time for households to
assess their homes and check if they need better insulation. A quick look at
the roof will give them a clue, if the snow has melted then heat is
needlessly escaping. It is worth getting in touch with the local council to
check eligibility for grants. Any household with a resident aged 70 or over,
qualifies for a 100% grant for insulation. These things only need to be done
once, and can pay for themselves within a couple of years."

Confused.com recommends homeowners review their insulation during winter
months to help cut energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint in one fell
swoop. More details of how to do this can be found within the home insurance
(www.confused.com/home-insurance) guides section of the website.
