Free Home Insulation for over 70s in Rhondda Cynon Taf
April 4, 2008
Free insulation is being offered to those over the age of 70 in Rhondda Cynon Taff in a bid to reduce the cost of energy bills and also protect the environment.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s specialist Home Energy Officer is promoting the initiative, which is open to homeowners or tenants who have someone over the age of 70 resident in their home.
On offer regardless of income, insulation is the easiest way to make your home warmer in summer and cooler in summer.
As energy bills continue to rise, the focus of the Home Energy Officer is to ensure residents have access to schemes that help reduce their fuel bills to heat their homes affordably while also protecting the environment by reducing fuel consumption.
Free insulation is still offered, free of charge, to those in receipt of qualifying benefits, and also offered to others for a discounted price of £199 per measure.
As the campaign for affordable warmth and environmental friendliness continues, free insulation is now being offered to homeowners or private tenants with an occupant over the age of 70.
Keryl Lanfear, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s Home Energy Officer, explained: “Loft insulation can save you up to £110 a year in energy bills and cavity wall insulation adds an additional £90 saving on top of that.
“As energy prices continue to rise, we are pleased to be able to promote and share information on schemes that reduce the cost of heating , while also protecting the environment by reducing fuel consumption.”
