Hi,
My parents house is old, sections of it are probably 100 years, but it's the newer bits that are the problem! It's very cold. Turn off the heating and all the warm air disappears very, very quickly. It's quite a large house, and I'm wondering is it possible to make it airtight, without it costing the earth. The heating bills are insane, obviously, so I imagine that there would be an element of payback involved anyway. Are there companies that survey properties with a view to providing an energy efficiency schedule, and from that making recommendations as to how to improve it? An independent company would obviously be ideal, but I imagine that anyone that does it has affiliations with insulation companies or such like.
Thanks,
A.
