A total of 8,108 homes in Louth have benefitted from the Government's Better Energy Homes and Warmer Homes schemes since 2009.
The figures, which have just been released, demonstrate the successful uptake of the schemes in Louth. Overall, 4,416 local homes availed of the 'Better Energy Homes' scheme, while 3,692 Louth homes have benefitted from 'Better Energy Warmer Homes'. The figures reflect total uptake in the county during the period 2009 - when the schemes were first introduced - to the end of January 2015.
Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme is a free home energy upgrade service, while the popular Better Energy Home scheme involves grants for insulation and heating upgrades, that is free for people to avail of.
I am delighted that just over 8,000 homes in Louth are now warmer, more energy efficient and have cheaper energy bills as a result. These latest figures show the government’s success in reducing energy costs for families in Louth and improving comfort levels within their homes. The schemes incentivise homes to become energy efficient by providing a cash grant or services, such as attic insulation and cavity wall insulation, at no cost to the household.
We are dedicated to ensuring a high quality of living for Irish people.These schemes prevent people from being plunged into energy poverty while also ensuring they stay warm in their homes.
