THE GIFT OF WARMTH FOR YOUR HOME - ARCHIVE
Local TV personality Billy Byrne shows that the gift of warmth is close to his heart by supporting the Herts Essex Energy Partnership (HEEP) boiler campaign, which is offering homeowners the opportunity to trade in their old boilers.
Hertfordshire-born and bred Billy, best known as the team joker on BBC’s DIY SOS, said: “Helping people improve their homes is close to my heart and that’s why I’m backing the HEEP boiler campaign. Just a simple call to a freephone number could put you on track for help towards installing a new gas condensing boiler in your home, which will save you both energy and money.”
If your boiler is G-rated and over 20 years old and you are in receipt of a means tested benefit, you may be eligible for a FREE* upgrade. A new gas condensing boiler will convert over 20% more fuel than a G-rated boiler and could save homeowners £235** per year on heating bills and reduce CO2 emissions by around 1.3 tonnes**.
HEEP is a Government-funded and council-approved scheme made up of fifteen local authorities – Brentwood, Broxbourne, Chelmsford, Dacorum, East Herts, Epping Forest, Harlow, Hertsmere, North Hertfordshire, St Albans, Stevenage, Three Rivers, Uttlesford, Watford and Welwyn Hatfield. These local authorities are working together to tackle fuel poverty and help improve energy efficiency in homes across Hertfordshire and Essex.
Residents can contact a qualified advisor on freephone 0800 980 6026 quoting reference FEB10 to discuss their individual circumstances and check eligibility. A website is also available at www.heepgrant.org for information.
* Subject to technical survey, qualifying criteria, council approval
and availability of funding
