Has anyone found it has made any difference? I had it done for free via my elec. co., but haven't noticed the slightest bit of difference. Just glad I didn't have to pay for it.

The two main differences I notice:
1 - During windy weather we got the stuff blowing inside through the air vents and still do after over ten years.
2 - The outside brickwork on one corner of the house had to be sealed due to damp penetration which wasn't an issue before the cavity was filled. So I assume that (in our case at least) the insulation allows the transference of damp across the cavity defeating the whole point of a cavity wall.
As for warmth efficiency, like CLB I've noticed no difference.
