The escalating price of energy is unprecedented and will likely result in a significant impact on the health of the nation. The UK currently faces a terrible cost-of-living crisis, risking putting millions of households into fuel poverty.

Energy Saving Trust verified and certified energy savings claims following the installation of Q-Bot’s robotic underfloor insulation in homes across the UK. It was found that insulating a floor with Q-Bot may typically save around £190 a year in a gas-heated home or £430 a year in an electrically heated home.

Floors are generally either solid or suspended (timber or concrete).

The logic is easy to follow, if a home is more comfortable to live in, costs less to run and is better for the environment, then that added value will be realised in the asking price.

Q-Bot is thrilled to announce the opening of a new operational base and training centre in Newport to support the installation of its robotic underfloor insulation through its own Delivery Team and a fast-growing network of Accredited Partners in Wales and South of England.

Q-Bot has worked with Energy Saving Trust (EST), a trusted and independent organisation, to verify and certify energy savings claims following the installation of Q-Bot’s robotic underfloor insulation in homes. The results of EST’s modelling demonstrate increases in EPC score and the reduction in energy bills after applying Q-Bot’s underfloor insulation in all property types. This further supports the well-established position that floor insulation improves the energy efficiency of homes.

An in-depth study was carried out by Leeds Beckett University before and after Q-Bot installed insulation under the floor of an end-terrace bungalow in the North of England. It was found that applying Q-Bot’s underfloor insulation reduces heat loss through the floor by 77% and draughts by 39%, resulting in a 24% reduction in the Heat Transfer Coefficient.

Q-Bot and its housing partners already have had a strong impact on fuel poverty by making homes warmer and more energy efficient. This means significantly improving the living conditions of tenants whilst reducing their carbon footprint. Together, we have delivered affordable warmth and improved energy efficiency to 1000’s of homes across the country.
