Help is available to make homes easier to heat

North Ayrshire Council would like to hear from residents who need financial support to make their homes more energy efficient.

The council’s Energy Smart programme supports privately-owned and private tenant households on low incomes to boost insulation at their properties.

The Energy Smart funding is part of the council’s Cost-of-Living Crisis support and is available now on a first-come-first-served basis.

The range of measures available includes:

• Cavity wall insulation

• Hard-to-treat cavity wall insulation

• Under-floor insulation

• Heating controls and programmers

• Loft insulation

• High heat retention storage heaters

• Draught proofing and

• LED bulbs.

  
  

To be eligible for Energy Smart funding your household’s gross income must be less than £43,662 and proof of income will be required. Multiple measures can be installed but there is a limit to the grant per household.

You can register your interest for this scheme with the Council’s managing agent M-Four by going online or by phone tel: 0800 471 4738

Successful applicants will be contacted by the council’s installer Valley Group to arrange a survey and discuss the measures suitable for your home.
