21/9/2011 - Home Insulation Schemes
Horsham District Council is experiencing a large volume of calls regarding bona fide insulation schemes. Unfortunately some of the companies currently cold calling in the Horsham District are using pressurised selling technique, claiming to be working with Horsham District Council, and not offering the best deal for the resident.

Cavity wall and loft insulation is being subsidised nationally, typically each measure costs up to £199, however in some instances the insulation can be installed for free. Horsham District Council is working with two reputable companies HCL Energy 01273 390 420, and HeatSeekers 0800 111  4968. Any resident who is interested in having insulation installed can obtain a free, no obligation survey from either of these companies, or they can contact their own energy supplier for special deals. For example British Gas is offering free insulation for all their customers until the end of October. Residents who would like further information can also contact Horsham District Council on 01403 215281.
