News from our partners E.ON
Energy provider E.ON is working with Shropshire Council to help residents reduce their energy bills and make their homes warmer and more affordable this summer. The Warmer Homes Shropshire scheme is installing free first-time gas central heating systems in eligible1 residents’ homes.
The free central heating scheme was first announced in May 2020, but many households are yet to take up the limited time offer. Eligible residents taking up the offer could save on average £630 per year on fuel bills2 and benefit from a warmer, more affordable home.
About the Warmer Homes Shropshire scheme:
Nigel Dewbery, Director of Residential Solutions at E.ON UK, said:
“We’re committed to improving the sustainability of homes across the UK, and inefficient heating systems are one of the main reasons why homes across the country aren’t as efficient as they could be.
“Schemes like this one in Shropshire help to support eligible residents by providing new gas connections and first-time central heating systems, therefore ensuring residents are able to heat their homes to the temperature needed to stay warm and healthy, and helping them to become more energy efficient.
“Summer is the perfect time to consider upgrading your central heating system as we generally rely on our heating less during the warmer months. We’d urge all eligible residents to contact their local council to find out more and to apply for the free measures.“
Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for adult social care, public health and assets, added:-
“We know that many households in Shropshire struggle with fuel poverty every year; more so this year with the extra pressure put on by the pandemic. Many people are spending additional time at home and may need support with how to stay warm and safe; while those who are ill or self-isolating may also have concerns about practical challenges in paying for their energy.
“We want as many people as possible to benefit from the Warmer Homes Shropshire scheme and hope residents take up the opportunity to get their homes made warmer and safer, ready for winter. Please do call or email us to find out more.
“Our Keep Shropshire Warm team are also here to support those who are struggling to heat their homes or afford their energy bills, as well as householders looking to improve the energy efficiency of their home. They accept referrals from family and friends, so if you or someone you know is worried about fuel bills, please do get in touch.”
