Age UK Enterprises, the commercial services arm of Age UK, and E.ON are urging those in later life who are struggling to keep warm to take advantage of free cavity wall and standard loft insulation, plus a cheque for £100 towards their energy bill.
Anyone in receipt of Pension Credit can apply - whether they are an E.ON customer or not. Age UK estimates that 1 in 3 of those eligible for Pension Credit in the UK still aren't claiming it1, and many of those could be missing out on insulation, too.
E.ON experts calculated that the average home can save up to £390 a year on their energy bills2 by insulating homes with cavity wall and loft insulation, yet over half of people recently surveyed by E.ON (57%) aren't aware that such savings are possible.3
Nigel Dewbery, from E.ON's Energy Efficiency Team, said: "By working together with Age UK in communities across the country, we're keen to help as many people as we possibly can. This offer allows us to reach some of the most vulnerable people in society with free insulation, lower energy bills, and a cheque for £100 to offer help in paying energy bills - and the beauty of it is that you don't have to be an E.ON customer to qualify. We're here to help so we'd urge people to get in contact with us now to find out more."
Gordon Morris, Managing Director of Age UK Enterprises, said: "Installing insulation will keep your home warmer in winter and help you cut your energy bills - without scrimping on comfort. We know that the colder months can have a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of people in later life so if you or someone you know could benefit from this free insulation offer, please act now."
