Families in Telford on lower Council Tax bands with less energy efficient homes are now eligible for a share of the Government’s new £1 billion insulation scheme. The scheme will offer households money to upgrade or install their roof, loft or cavity wall insultation to cut energy bills by as much as £400 a year.
To be eligible for support, you must be in Council Tax bands A-D with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below. It is estimated that some 300,000 households across the UK will be eligible for energy efficiency upgrades.
Telford residents can check their eligibility and apply for funding through the Great British Insulation Scheme here.
Lucy Allan MP said:
In light of the challenges posed by high energy bills, the new Great British Insulation Scheme will be warmly welcomed by many in Telford.
I would encourage everyone who thinks they may be eligible for funding to apply online, reducing energy use and saving hundreds of pounds a year on their bills.
Energy Security Secretary, Claire Coutinho MP, said:
We are determined to help families keep their homes warm through the winter months and save on their energy costs.
Our Great British Insulation Scheme will help hundreds of thousands of people, including some of the most vulnerable in society, get the upgrades their homes need, while cutting their energy bills.
