    What might the approximate cost of upgrading the insulation in a BER F house (1500 sf) to about a BER B or BER A level cost to have done? It has a ground floor and first floor. Thanks.

    How long is a piece of string? Terraced, semi? What kind of structure.......
    Best phone an insulation company and ask them to come price it.

    It's not just about insulation and air tightness, it's about efficient heating system as well.
    External insulation will be cheaper, cavity insulation is good as well, internal insulation more expensive but efficient as well, if heating works on thermostats. If heating is on just casually, than go for external, it will let your internal walls to accumulate some heat!
