Warm Deal Programme
If you or your spouse are in receipt of certain income-related benefits, or are aged 60 or over, you may be eligible for a grant of up to £500 to have your home insulated under the Scottish Government’s Warm Deal. If you are aged 60 or over and do not receive income-related benefits, you can get a smaller grant of up to £125.
The Home Energy Efficiency (Scheme) Scotland Regulations, effective from January 2007, also extended the Warm Deal programme to households with children with disabilities and receiving the Disability Living Allowance. These homes can have free insulation measures installed up to the value of £500.
The package includes:
• Cavity wall insulation
• Loft insulation
• Hot and cold tank and pipe insulation
• Draughtproofing
• Advice on energy efficiency is given.
Further information on the Warm Deal is available from Scottish Gas, Freepost, SCO 4421, Edinburgh, EH6 0BR; or you can telephone them on their freephone number: 0800 316 6009.
