Free central heating scheme making a difference in North Yorkshire

Certain residents are benefitting from reduced fuel bills and warmer homes thanks to free central heating provided by the North Yorkshire Warm Homes Fund.

71 A-rated systems have been installed, saving over £968,000 million on residents’ future fuel bills.

Funding is available for a limited time to help homeowners and private renting tenants using inefficient storage heaters, room heaters or fires.

North Yorkshire County Council are working with Hambleton, Richmondshire, Ryedale and Scarborough Borough councils to deliver the scheme

New price cap levels for customers on prepayment meter and default energy tariffs (including standard variable tariffs) apply from today. Due to a sharp decrease in wholesale gas prices since the cap was last updated in February, capped tariff prices will fall this winter*.

From tomorrow (30th September), homeowners and landlords in England can apply for a voucher towards the cost of installing energy efficient and low-carbon heating improvements to homes, which could help save up to £600 a year on energy bills.

Warm and Well will be at Hawes Market Hall on Tuesday 22nd September 10.00 - 12.00 with the Citizens Advice Bus. If you have any queries concerning heating your home or worried about your energy bills come and speak to a member of our team.
