Households to save £120 on fuel bills

Posted by Ed Saunt on Nov 2, 09 05:20 PM in Local Authority

More than 1,100 homes will see their fuel bills cut after Hounslow Homes received a £1m grant to improve insulation.

Households are expected to save up to £120 a year each once the housing association installs new cavity wall insulation in the homes across the borough with the lowest energy ratings. Hounslow Homes also estimates the project will cut CO2 emissions by 88,000kg per year.

The housing association's environmental adviser Rory Prendergast said: ''This grant will greatly assist us in targeting those properties which are the most expensive to heat and are most susceptible to fuel poverty. It will aide us in our efforts to tackle climate change at a local level, improve energy efficiency, and reduce heating costs for our residents.''
