Mark Garnier is calling on local residents to take advantage of a free energy efficiency offer, help a friend or a relative, and pocket £50 for their efforts.
There is £50 up for grabs for every person you refer to British Gas for free insulation. The money will be paid once the installation has been completed and there is no limit on the number of people someone can refer. The person referred must be receiving qualifying benefits.
As well as getting free insulation which will save hundreds of pounds off their energy bills each year, the referred customer will also be paid £50 once the installation has been completed.
After hearing the details of the deal Mark said:
“This is an excellent opportunity to deliver energy saving measures to the poorest households and at the same time reward those who are identifying and helping more vulnerable members of our communities.
“We have a great community in Wyre Forest and we can all do our bit to make sure that our friends and family are getting all the help they can in these difficult times.”
Loft insulation can save households up to £175 from their heating bills and cavity wall insulation can save up to £135. According to DECC, nearly half of Britain’s homes do not have adequate basic insulation. Only 57% of Britain’s lofts have been properly insulated and only 58% of cavity walls have been filled.
The number to call is 0800 975 1195. Calls must be made by the customer who is having the insulation installed and they should give the details of the person who referred them.
