Cutting the cost of solar heating

WITH summer now well and truly under way residents are being urged to consider cutting their fuel bills by installing a solar, hot water system.

Councils across the county are working together on the Solar Warm and Well scheme. Through the scheme, grants of up to £900 are available to homeowners towards the cost of the solar panels.

Rebecca Billington from Solar Warm and Well said: "At this time of the year a solar hot water system can provide you with 100 per cent of your hot water requirements.

A complete system would normally cost around £3,000 so our grants make solar power much more affordable."

To find out more about solar grants and how to reduce fuel bills by saving energy call the Gloucestershire Energy Efficiency Advice Centre on 0800 512012.
