The cross borough project will see residents in Haringey and
neighbouring Islington receive free home energy assessments to determine
what measures would be worthwhile implementing to reduce their energy
bills. For example, this could be double glazing, loft and cavity wall
insulation or fitting any energy saving new boiler. The free survey –
which in normal circumstances could cost anything up to £150 – will
assess the property’s energy efficiency and identify a suitable range of
measures for the householder. If interested, residents will be put in
touch with Government approved Green Deal providers who are responsible
for offering a package of measures, as well as arranging for a Green
Deal approved installer to carry out the work.
Part of the funding will be utilised to establish a network of
approved Green Deal installers across Haringey, Islington, Enfield and
Waltham Forest. In the meantime the council will engage community groups
and local businesses to help them get the message out to the community.
“This funding will help us reach those households that might not know
how they could improve fuel and energy efficiency in their homes and
businesses, as well as saving money,” said Haringey Councillor, Joe
Goldberg.
