Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Program by Camden Council

The Camden Council has recently committed to spending an extra 1.15million on an insulation programme for private sector homes. This will help to ensure residents in the area save hundreds of pounds on their fuel bills.

The funding will provide up to 100 per cent grants to leaseholders and freeholders in blocks of flats, to be used on installing uPVC windows and cavity wall insulation.

In addition, the council also has a warmer, cheaper, greener program which is available to all residents. This program provides a number of grants to help make sure homes are more energy efficient, and that residents can cut down their carbon footprints. Double glazing is hugely popular in this scheme.

Changing windows and insulating homes is a great way to reduce carbon emissions as well as to save money on heating bills.

Executive Member for Environment for Camden Council, Chris Knight, stated that ‘Camden is committed to tackling climate change’ in a way that can also help it become affordable to local residents.

He added that making simple changes to properties, such as fitting insulation of uPVC windows, ‘play a huge role in protecting the environment, as well as saving money on energy bills’.

Knight encourages any interested homeowners to get in touch to get the support needed to go green in their home. Last year, 164 energy efficient measures were carried out as a result of council help, worth £138,559.
