'Off grid' Ribble Valley heating grant offers households up to £38k to make homes warmer and greener
Many householders in the RIbble Valley who are not connected to the gas mains can now apply for a heating grant of up to £38,000.
Ribble Valley residents who are ‘off grid’ can use the cash to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and to help make them warmer and greener. The Home Upgrade Grant is exclusively for those homes heated by oil, LPG, solid fuel, or electricity. A high proportion of properties in the Ribble Valley rely on alternative energy sources and are therefore potentially eligible to apply.This means that the grant can be used for insulation purposes and well as to replace single glazed windows or old wooden external doors. The grant can also cover the installation of low carbon heating.They will not be asked to contribute to any eligible works which are carried out.
Landlords must contribute 50 per cent towards the cost of the work. Rachael Stott, Ribble Valley Council’s housing strategy officer, said: “Ribble Valley has a high percentage of off mains gas properties. “Rural properties are not often eligible for grant schemes, so it is important that residents are aware of what is available. We would also encourage residents to apply for the scheme now, well in advance of the winter months, so that any work can be carried out and improvements are in place for the inevitably colder weather.”
