Event promotes energy efficiency
An event is set to help local people become more energy efficient and stop wasting money on their heating bills.
Hillserve Insulation, in conjunction with Trafford Council, will be holding an energy saving event on Wednedsay 1 October at the Trafford Centre from at 9.30am.
Any home owner or anyone else living in privately rented accommodation can get free cavity wall and loft insulation providing they, or anyone living in the household, is on either an income-related benefit or a disability related benefit or is over the age of 70 years of age.
Popular television star Sue Jenkins of Coronation Street, Brookside and more recently Emmerdale will be at the event.
There will also be a free raffle and free energy saving light bulbs.
All Trafford homeowners who do not qualify for free insulation will receive a £70 rebate off their council tax if they take advantage of subsidised cavity wall and loft insulation on offer, available from £250.
There will be an ‘energy house’ on show so visitors can then see how cavity wall insulation is blown into the cavity and how it can save them on average over £160 a year on their heating bills.
Executive councillor Jonathan Coupe said: “We want to encourage local people to help make Trafford a cleaner, greener borough, and this event will offer a wealth of information about ways we can all become more energy efficient – and save money at the same time!”
As well as promoting energy efficiency, the event will also promote breast cancer awareness and a percentage of all cavity and loft insulation payments received by Hillserve will go to breast cancer research.
For more information about the council's insulation scheme, and to make an appointment with an installer from Hillserve, residents should come down to the Trafford Centre on 1 October, or call 0845 971 7731 to make an appointment, quoting the code TRAF. Callers making a telephone appointment will not be eligible for the free raffle or energy saving light bulbs. |
