Experts at Home Heating Guide Say UK Consumers May Be Missing Out on
Energy Efficiency Grants
Many unaware of Government grants and rebates for heating and insulation
London, UK (PRWeb UK) July 14, 2009 -- Consumers may be missing out on thousands of pounds of
government funded initiatives available across the UK, according to Home Heating Guide, the leading online
resource for domestic heating and energy issues.
Home Heating Guide have found that many homeowners may find they are eligible for home energy efficiency
grants that cover the installation of new high efficiency condensing boilers, central heating systems and home
insulation in a Government drive to reduce domestic household carbon emissions.
The initiatives available across, England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland are operated regionally with
varying criteria and grant amounts that is explained in further detail at Home Heating Guide.
David Holmes of Home Heating Guide commented "many homeowners are unaware that grants are available
which cover a relatively wide criteria and not just reserved for a lucky few, we're encouraging consumers,
especially those on benefits to check out the website to see if they are eligible"
In addition to grants consumers will also benefit in the form of lower fuel bills, a condensing boiler can reduce
household energy bills by up to £235 with a potential reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 1,260 kg/year.
Loft insulation and cavity wall insulation can reduce bills even further by up to £265 and a whopping 1,410
kg/year saving in CO2 emissions, a very significant amount to not only the consumers pocket but also the
environment.
For those consumers who may not qualify for a full grant some regions operate a partial grant or rebate system
which is usually aimed at over 60's who are not on benefits but may need help with a heating system or energy
efficiency advice. Either way consumers are urged to apply now in the quieter and warmer months to ensure their
application is processed in preparation for win
