Funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and managed by the Greater South East Net Zero Hub (GSENZH) and Ashford Borough Council, this scheme is a game-changer for your home and wallet.

Cllr Steve Campkin, portfolio holder for climate, environment, and sustainability at Ashford Borough Council, urges:

“Don’t miss out on these free upgrades! They’ll help heat your home, cut your carbon footprint, and reduce energy bills. Check your eligibility and apply now!”

To qualify, your household must:

  • Have a combined annual income of less than £36,000 (including benefits)
  • Live in a specific postcode area

Graeme Heron, Energy Efficiency Programme Lead at GSENZH, adds:

“Retrofitting homes is crucial for decarbonising our communities. These free measures will keep you warm and save you money. Apply before it’s too late!”

An assessment will determine which energy-saving measures your home needs. Remember, it’s first-come, first-served, so apply by 30 September to ensure the work is completed before the scheme ends in March 2025.
