I've been reading this thread - AGAIN....
Those of you that are looking for grants via Eon-NPower etc unless you have NO CH or are on Storage Heating, Solid Fuel + on benefits have NO chance of getting either EWI or IWI. That's the criteria at the moment. AND as the Government are now backing off with grants the likelihood of solid wall homes that have Gas CH getting it is a non starter. AND those of us that HAVE to use either LPG (very polluting and expensive) or OIL (VERY expensive) won't even get a look in.
I know I've tried......
It annoys me that when heating costs are discussed on TV there is no mention of those of us who live in rural areas who have no option but to use OIL/LPG. They only batt on about Electric and GAS PRICES.....:mad:
Yes, so much for the 'greenest government ever'. Now they're banging on about how they're going to (marginally) cut fuel bills (until the world price of gas goes up again) by... reducing the money for insulation!Solar install June 2022, Bath

So there goes my hopes of keeping the family warm this winter, oh well maybe next year, but then again i say this every year. The government want us to cut our carbon footprint, we want to also because it helps the environment and we get to stay warm aswell as using less energy thus paying less, but now they decide against it. I was thinking of contacting my councillor as grandmasam had advised previously, but now i think it would be a waste of time, since the government, have announced the insulation has been put on the back burner.0
