Council warms up to home insulation support

Eligible residents encouraged to apply for initiatives offering energy efficiency improvements to homes

RBWM is working in partnership to offer two schemes to support low-income families in the borough improve the energy efficiency of their homes while reducing their carbon footprint, with applications now open.

Eligible homeowners or private tenants can apply to receive the free energy-saving upgrades designed to lower carbon emissions and help manage energy bills. This will help families phase out high carbon, fossil fuel heating and reduce fuel poverty. 

You may be eligible if you are in a home which has an Energy Performance Certificate rating of D, E, F, or G and you have a combined household income of less than £31,000 per annum, or you are receiving certain income-related means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit.

For full details of the schemes, including eligibility criteria, read the press release.
