Monday, 14 November 2011 4:43 PM

Now there is no excuse not to insulate to save money and energy this winter. Npower have launched a scheme offering savvy DIY experts loft insulation for just £1 a roll from npower's partner Build Center, with free delivery and online help.

The scheme, open to everyone regardless of whether they are an npower energy customer or not, also offers a video to help novices complete the DIY loft insulation job step by step.

The scheme forms part of npower's Government obligations to help homeowners cut the amount of energy that is wasted in the UK each year. The Energy Saving Trust anticipates that homes could save as much as £175 a year on their heating bills and around 720 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year, just by installing the recommended 270mm depth of loft insulation.
