Letters will be sent out this week to residents in Jaywick Sands with details of a Warmer Homes scheme available to them. Capture Carbon is running the initiative in the area as part of the national Energy Company Obligation scheme to help tackle fuel poverty. It is offering free measures to help make homes warmer, and is available to residents whether they own their own home or privately rent.
Measures may include loft, wall or underfloor insulation, or an upgraded heating system, and an assessment of homes will be carried out first to determine which measures would be most effective.
Paul Honeywood, Tendring District Council (TDC) Cabinet Member for Housing and with responsibility for Jaywick Sands, encouraged people to make use of the initiative.
“Usually when a company says it is offering free measures such as this it can seem too good to be true, but in this instance it really is,” Cllr Honeywood said.
“We have worked with Capture Carbon to ensure this scheme is as effective as it can be, and I would really urge residents who receive a letter to look into this initiative and take advantage of it. A warmer home can help reduce hospital admissions by cutting down on the chance of illness developing, and by being more efficient can save money too.”
