Homeowners in Milton Keynes are being encouraged to apply for free-energy upgrades to heat their homes and save money before the scheme closes at the end of September.
Eligible homeowners must apply before the end of September to get free insulation, low carbon heating, solar panels and other energy efficiency measures. Applicants will be guided through the process, helping them understand the scheme and its eligibility criteria. If eligible for free upgrades, an installer will identify which improvements for the home will provide the greatest benefits and arrange any necessary surveys and installations.
The Home Upgrade Grant scheme is open to home-owners, private tenants and landlords. Eligible households must be situated in a pre-qualified postcode area (eligible postcodes can be found here) or have an household income of less than £36,000. The home must also be heated by alternative methods to gas, including electricity, oil, liquid propane gas, and solid fuels.
We know there’s people yet apply for the scheme which means they could miss out on these free energy saving upgrades. It’s an initiative worth considering, which could help families bring their energy bills down while protecting the environment at the same time. I encourage anyone who thinks they might be eligible to apply as soon as possible.
