HOUSEHOLDS in Bromsgrove could be eligible for a share of the governments £1bn national insulation scheme.
The fund offers upgrades for people in less energy-efficient, lower council tax band homes – such as loft or cavity wall insulation – to help cut annual energy bills by up to £400.
Homes in council tax bands A-D who have an energy performance certificate rating of D or below may be eligible.
Bromsgrove District Councillor, Steve Colella, said: “A lot of people will be thinking about heating and fuel bills during the colder months and this government scheme is designed to help people in eligible homes to heat their homes using less energy and save money. People in the district should be aware of it.
“It only takes a moment to check if you are eligible.”
A quick Great British Insulation Scheme eligibility check is required to confirm whether a referral can be made to the household’s energy supplier for the support.
After that, the energy supplier would confirm what measures could be available under the scheme, any financial contribution the householder may have to make, and then deliver the work.
