Energy Efficiency Cash Back Assistance
Making homes warmer, reducing fuel bills and tackling climate
change
Due to the overwhelming success of the scheme, we will
unfortunately be ending the scheme for insulation works on 18th
October 2009 as funding is running out.
We will only consider claims for insulation works completed by 18th
October 2009. We must receive your claim form by 18th January
2010.
Please note that claims for condensing boilers can still be
submitted after these dates.
We hope to re-launch the scheme in April 2010. Please check this
website again for more information in April.
How much is it?
Up to £100 per measure.
Am I eligible to apply?
If you are an owner-occupier, a landlord, or a tenant with
repairing obligations, you can apply.
What works will it pay for?
- All types of cavity wall insulation
- Loft insulation up to the current recommended
thickness
- External solid wall insulation
- Internal solid wall insulation
- Installation of a condensing boiler (minimum SEDBUK Grade
B)
- Ground floor insulation
- Draught-proofing to windows and doors
You need to organise the works yourself and pay the contractor
in full, then return the claim form and receipted
invoice to us within 3 months of the work being completed.
Where can I find details of suitable contractors?
The Energy Saving Trust Advice Centre will be able to give you
details of installers working locally and details of any discount
schemes currently on offer. Contact them on 0800 512 012.
Please note that the Council does not employ, recommend or approve
any surveyors or contractors. If you are concerned that a surveyor
or contractor is passing themselves off as being appointed by
Cheshire East Council, please contact us.
Can I carry out the work myself?
Yes you can (apart from cavity wall insulation), and we will pay
for the cost of materials up to £100 per measure.
If you are installing a condensing boiler yourself, you need to
provide evidence of your registration on the Gas Safe
Register.
Do I have to repay this assistance?
No, it is not repayable.
Can I apply again?
You can apply again for different measures – but you can’t
apply twice for the same measure.
