Free loft and cavity wall insulation for Shropshire

Keep Shropshire Warm, Shropshire Council’s affordable warmth project, is pleased to announce free loft and cavity wall insulation* for all residents of Shropshire.

It is estimated that installing loft insulation could save a household around £175 a year on their energy bills, and installing cavity wall insulation could save around £135 a year.

Tim Baldwin of Keep Shropshire Warm said:

“We are urging all residents of Shropshire that haven’t done so already to get in touch and get insulated against the cold and rising energy prices now. This offer is based on energy company subsidies which are due to end this year.  After that the price of having insulation is likely to increase drastically.”

Call Keep Shropshire Warm on 01743 277123, or email info@keepshropshirewarm.org,  to take advantage of subsidised insulation.  

Keep Shropshire Warm also provides free impartial advice on energy efficiency measures, renewable energy technologies and signposting for benefits advice and potential sources of funding for heating replacement/repair, and for households struggling to cope with the ever increasing cost of energy.

Call the number above or visit  www.keepshropshirewarm.org.

Keep Shropshire Warm is run by local charity Marches Energy Agency on behalf of Shropshire Council.
