In the Var, a poorly insulated house is often uncomfortable twice a year: cold in winter inland, stifling in summer everywhere. Roof insulation is generally the first lever.
A summer issue as much as a winter one
Estates built between the 1960s and 1980s around Toulon, Fréjus or Draguignan often have poorly insulated lofts. Rooms under the roof accumulate heat during heatwaves.
In the Haut-Var, where winters are harsher, insulation noticeably reduces heating needs and allows a future heat pump to be sized more accurately.
What we check in this area
- Access to and condition of the loft, presence of old insulation
- Ventilation and any signs of damp
- Type of roof and frame
- Priorities: summer comfort, winter comfort or both
- Heating or air-conditioning works planned afterwards

Frequently asked questions
Is loft insulation enough against heat?
It contributes strongly, especially under roofs. It is complemented by solar protection and night-time ventilation.
How long do loft works last?
It depends on the area, access and technique. The duration is specified in the proposal after the visit.

Financial aid: whether aid exists, its amount and your eligibility depend on your situation (income, status, type of home), on the technical characteristics of the project and on the schemes in force at the time of the study. We check these points with you; no aid is guaranteed in advance.
