Save energy by adding insulation to your home
We have a thermal imaging camera available to use for assessing if and where your home might be losing heat and where insulation might help. Now is still a good time to use the camera before we have our heating on less often. Adding or increasing insulation to your home is one way of reducing your energy bills, at relatively low cost. To borrow the camera please contact us at acesettleandarea@gmail.com
North Yorkshire Council Home Upgrade Grants
Grants are available to help homes that are not on mains gas and have poor quality insulation and inefficient heating systems. Grants can be used for improvements such as insulation and solar panels, along with air source heat pumps and smart heating controls. See North Yorkshire Council website at northyorks.gov.uk for more details and whether you might qualify for a grant.
