Discount on Home Insulation

Residents in Havering can get a £100 Council Tax rebate by insulating their home. Havering Council has launched an initiative offering Havering householders the opportunity of a £100 rebate on their council tax if they install energy efficiency measures.

Thanks to a partnership with British Gas, householders that install cavity wall or loft insulation can claim the £100 rebate and reduce their annual energy bills by up to £220 a year, which is equivalent to a 40% saving on the average annual gas bill.

Furthermore the Council has negotiated substantial subsidies with British Gas for the cost of the loft or cavity wall insulation. For example the average cost of cavity wall insulation for a three bedroom semi-detached house would be £430 but if it is installed by British Gas through this subsidised scheme it would cost £250 plus your council tax will be credited with £100.

You don't have to be a British Gas customer to benefit from this scheme which runs until 31st December 2007. The full £100 rebate is open to the first 500 installations.
