Home owners in West Sussex could receive up to £25,000 in funding as the council bids to upgrade properties to be make them more energy efficient.
The 'Warmer Homes' programme will fund improvements including insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps for homes with an EPC rating of E, F or G and a total income of below £30,000. Those receiving benefits are also eligible, with homes that have a mains gas supply able to claim up to £10,000 and those off gas receiving up to £25,000.
Councillor Deborah Urquhart, the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, hopes that these "changes at home" will have an "impact on the twin challenge of rising energy costs and climate change."
Urquhart continued, "We would encourage our residents to take a close look at this opportunity and to pass on the information to friends and family they feel could qualify.”
Locals are encouraged to apply online or call 0800 038 5737 to check their eligibility.
