Insulation might be last thing you’re thinking of now the weather has warmed up, but it’s worth getting sorted before next Winter. Ray tells us more about the Footprint Trust’s Energetic Scheme. Ed
In the week that the energy regulator slammed the major power companies for unclear billing the Island’s Footprint Trust has praised British Gas.
British Gas is offering all its current customers free cavity wall insulation or free loft insulation. This is normally only available to households in receipt of benefit or allowances or over 70 years of age.
Could save you £110 per year
“Cavity wall insulation could save over £110 each year on energy bills and unlike loft insulation can not be carried out by DIY enthusiasts.” said Ray Harrington-Vail of the Footprint Trust.
For people who are not British Gas customer but are 70 or over, or on one of the qualifying benefits or allowances, the Footprint Trust can offer free or cheap loft and cavity wall insulation via it’s Energetic Project.
Ray continued, “Insulation, locks in heat, so householders won’t need to have heating on as much to stay warm. It’s not just a one-off saving either; it helps to save money year after year, now is the time to get ready for next winter.”
Free home visit by Footprint Trust
The Footprint Trust offers all British Gas customers a free home visit to look for ways of reducing their energy bills.
The Trust’s Energetic Project visits children’s centres, church and community groups to chat to their members about reducing their energy costs.
