    That's what's known as 'External Wall Insulation'.

    The issue is that it isn't cheap. Estimates range from 9k to 25k or above depending on the size of your house. While it does help give notable savings the payback period is stupidly long.

    If you're eligible for some of the ECO schemes or council schemes then it might make sense but generally it doesn't pay.

    Since i'm a new user i can't post a link but google 'external wall insulation' and have a look at the which article it brings up.
    8kW (4kW WNW, 4kW SSE) 6kW inverter. 6.5kWh battery.
  • plenty of companies offering 'Hard to Treat' external insulation, there are some grants depending on area.
