MIDDLE-INCOME households could receive grants worth thousands of pounds to make their homes more energy efficient under a proposed new government scheme.
Ministers are consulting on allocating £1bn to a new "eco plus" project, which would fund loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and smart heating controls.
The Times has also reported that under current plans, the scheme could begin next April and is likely to cover houses inThe Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy expect it will help more than 70,000 homes, knocking off hundreds of pounds a year from energy bills. Insulation works by creating a thermal barrier that traps natural heat within the home, keeping rooms warm and creating less need to switch on heaters.
