Stockport residents are being encouraged to save energy – as well as reduce their fuel bills – by applying for free or discounted work on their homes.
A new offer can provide a variety of free insulation measures, not just loft and cavity wall, and some eligible residents may also be entitled to a new boiler.
Stockport residents are asked call the free advice line 0800 009 3363 to see if their property is eligible as it could see them saving hundreds of pounds a year on their energy bills.
Even if a property hasn’t been suitable in the past, there may now be solutions available.
The offer is made as part of the ‘Get Me Toasty’ campaign in which people living in certain areas of Greater Manchester automatically qualify for free insulation measures.
Some low income households with poor insulation and heating systems will be able to access free heating and insulation improvements.
Councillor Stuart Bodsworth, Executive Member for Communities and Sustainability at Stockport Council, said:
“Residents can make significant savings on their fuel bills by getting in touch with the Energy Advice Service to see if they are eligible for free or discounted work on their homes.”
The Council is working with Forrest, one of three partners across Greater Manchester, who will be the main contractor in the borough. They will provide assessments and the delivery of Energy Company Obligation products including insulation and heating for the most vulnerable.
