Energy efficiency grants for residential properties
Energy efficiency grants for residential properities
Council approved energy saving scheme
set to continue helping Broxbourne residents save energy and
money
The Council backed scheme Herts Essex Energy
Partnership (HEEP) is a successful energy saving campaign,
consisting of 15 local authorities across Hertfordshire and Essex,
including Broxbourne Borough Council.
There has been an overwhelming demand from
local residents with HEEP helping over 10,100 homes in Essex and
Hertfordshire become energy efficient by providing grants,
discounts and loans for energy saving measures.
HEEP has helped residents save enough
lifetime carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fill around
1,537,833 double-decker buses.
HEEP was set up in July 2009 to help alleviate
fuel poverty and reduce fuel bills. The scheme was due to end on 31
March 2011, however due to the success of the campaign HEEP will
continue to help homeowners and private tenants save energy by
providing home insulation for free* or at a
discounted rate for those on means tested benefits, which will
be installed by council approved installers.
By insulating your loft you could save around
£145 every year and £110 every year by insulating your cavity
walls**.
