Lincolnshire residents to save hundreds with new insulation scheme

A new scheme to cut residents' energy bills and reduce carbon emissions is being launched across Lincolnshire.

Established by local councils and run by the Energy Saving Trust, the Home Energy Lincolnshire Partnership (HELP) scheme is the first of its kind in the area and will save residents hundreds of pounds each year on energy bills.

Under the HELP scheme, those over 60 or on qualifying benefits can receive cavity wall and loft insulation absolutely free, and everyone else can get it for the hugely discounted price of £49 for cavity wall and £79 for loft, subject to property survey and maximum sizes.

Insulating homes keeps heat where it’s needed the most – inside, which means they will be warmer in winter and cheaper to heat.

Insulating the loft can save the homeowner around £150 a year, and a further £115 a year can be saved by getting cavity wall insulation. In a time of rising energy prices and economic uncertainty this will be a blessing for those already struggling to keep up with spiralling fuel bills.

Around 10,000 homes are expected to benefit from the HELP scheme over the next twelve months, resulting in huge savings across the region.

Teams of canvasses will be making their way around the County to offer this opportunity to residents and will have proper identification relating to the scheme, which residents should ask to see.

Homeowners can also apply for the HELP scheme by calling the Energy Saving Trust free on 0800 512 012
