People living in ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp are being given the opportunity to make their homes more energy efficient as a result of the Scottish Government’s Home Energy Efficiency Programmes for Scotland: Area Based Scheme (HEEPS: ABS).
·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp Council has been awarded funding to help residents make energy efficiency improvements to their properties, such as external/internal wall insulation, underfloor insulation, cavity wall insulation and loft insulation.
The programme is available to owner occupiers and private rented householders living in Council Tax bands A to C, regardless of income, and band D if your income is less than £20,000.
For people living on ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp's islands, the criteria has been extended even further to include those in band D properties and above, with an energy rating of E or below.
The scheme contributes towards the Scottish Governments target of alleviating fuel poverty and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. It also helps the Local Housing Strategy’s aim to improve the overall quality and condition of housing.
To register your interest for the scheme, or for any home energy efficiency enquiries, please contact Home Energy Scotland on 0808 808 2282.
