Save £300 on energy bills

Published on 9 February 2012

Epping Forest district residents could save £300 on energy bills thanks to new funding.

Homes in the Epping Forest district will be warmer next winter thanks to the partnership between the Herts Essex Energy Partnership (HEEP) and Climate Energy.

Thanks to this scheme supported by Epping Forest District Council, residents in the area are being offered the chance to have loft and cavity wall insulation fitted in their homes for free, regardless of their financial situation. These two energy-saving measures could help to reduce the cost of heating homes by around £300 a year.

This scheme has been made possible thanks to funding under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), where the country’s energy providers are obligated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from domestic buildings.

To find out how you can benefit from free loft and cavity wall insulation:

• Visit the HEEP website
• Call a HEEP expert energy advisor on 0800 980 6026

Experts from Climate Energy will visit homes to carry out a no obligation survey to check they are suitable for these energy-saving measures and the installation will be carried out by qualified and experienced installers from Climate Energy. Climate Energy is an award-winning carbon reduction agency that has just been placed 55th in the Sunday Times’ list of the UK’s fastest growing companies.

Siobhan Black, HEEP Senior Co-ordinator for Climate Energy, says: “With fuel bills continuing to rise, we all need to find ways of reducing the amount of energy we use at home."

“Fitting insulation is a great way to do this and, thanks to this new scheme, thousands of homes in the area can benefit, not only in reduced bills but also through their homes feeling warmer.”
