Dear ,

Hope you’re enjoying the signs of spring.

A few updates on support available to Greenwich residents before mid-march to help increase comfort, bring down energy bills, and relieve some of the pressure during the winder months that may be of interest to you, your family and your community.

Please do check in with friends and family to make sure that as many people know about the supports we are offering. Every bit helps.

HELP TO INSULATE

We’ve increased our Love Loft insulation grant to up to £500 until mid-march. This increase from £200 means that if you don’t already have loft insulation, this could increased support could:

• cover roughly half the cost

• reduce your annual bills by up to £400 per year

• reduce payback times on your bills to approximately 1 year

The Love Lofts programme is only running for one more month, so do get in touch ASAP. www.selce.org.uk/lovelofts

We can also check if you qualify for any grants and provide low cost independent advice to help you understand your home’s energy efficiency needs better. Let’s make sure we’ve got Future Fit Homes!

HELP TO HEAT

And, if you’re unable to maintain your heating system or you don’t have a working programmer because its unaffordable, Simon our Heat Doctor can help with repairs and maintenance. Get in touch with Simon: www.selce.org.uk/heat-dr

HELP TO CUT BILLS

If you’re struggling with your energy bills we can come out and install a number of different products in your house free of charge that can reduce your energy bills by up to £200 per year. This includes: LED lightbulbs, CO monitors, draught proofing, radiator reflector foil, low-flow shower heads, and much more. And while we’re there help you with any other energy advice needs.

Until the end of March we are fast-tracking home visits for Greenwich residents. To book a visit please email energy.advice@selce.org.uk with the subject line FAST-TRACK GREENWICH HOME VISIT, providing your name, phone number and address.
