Clackmannanshire Council has teamed up with Scottish Gas, Clyde Insulation Ltd and the Energy Saving Scotland Advice Centre to offer insulation to home owners at discounted rates, with a cash back reward.

The council is committed to helping residents make their homes more energy efficient and reduce their fuel bills.

One of the best ways to do this is to reduce the heat loss from a home by installing cavity wall and loft insulation.

Councillor Craig Holden, the Council's Energy Champion, explained: "With rising fuel costs in the news once again, now is the time to consider taking up this great opportunity. The initial cost of the insulation will be quickly recovered from the savings made on future fuel bills. It will also help home owners become more energy efficient, which in turn will help to tackle climate change."

Homeowners spending either £250 installing cavity wall insulation or £274 installing loft insulation will qualify for a £75 reward paid direct by Scottish Gas once the work has been completed. In addition, Clackmannanshire Council is offering a further £50 reward to the first 100 householders who install both cavity wall and loft insulation.
