Will these improvements disrupt my home?

Most energy efficiency improvements—like insulation, heating upgrades, or solar panel installations—are designed to be as minimally disruptive as possible. However, the level of disruption can vary depending on the type of work being done.
Here’s what you can typically expect:
  • Insulation (loft, cavity wall, underfloor): Usually completed within a day, with installers needing access to certain areas (like your loft or external walls). There might be some noise and movement of furniture, but disruption is generally minor.
  • Heating System Upgrades: If you’re having a new boiler or heating controls installed, there may be some short-term loss of heating or hot water, and installers might need access to multiple rooms. Most jobs are completed within one or two days.
  • Solar Panel Installation: This usually involves some external work on your roof and a little internal work for wiring and the inverter. The process is typically finished within a day, with minimal impact on your daily routine.
Installers aim to keep disruption to a minimum:
Professional installers will tidy up after themselves, keep you informed about what’s happening, and work efficiently to reduce inconvenience.
Tip:
If you have concerns about specific rooms, pets, or valuable items, let your installer know in advance—they can often work around your needs.
