Home owners on Anglesey still have time to cut their energy bills as a successful energy efficiency project draws to an end.
Over the last three years, more than 7,500 Anglesey properties have benefited from free cavity wall and loft insulation as part of the ‘here to Help’ scheme. This is helping make a significant contribution towards the Council’s drive to reduce its carbon emissions by 2012.
The ‘here to Help’ scheme is a partnership between British Gas and the Isle of Anglesey County Council, together with specialist insulation suppliers and installers, Hillserve.
Housing portfolio holder, Councillor William Hughes, explained, “The programmed ‘here to Help’ work will soon come to an end with Llanfairpwll being the last of the 40 wards to benefit.”
He added, “The scheme has already helped thousands of households reduce their fuel bills and to keep their homes warmer, but there are still many more households who have yet to take advantage of this offer. I would encourage them to take advantage of this excellent scheme.”
So, if you still haven’t signed up for free cavity wall and loft insulation, please contact Hillserve on 0800 622415. Hillserve are the approved contractor responsible for property assessments and installation on behalf of British Gas. They will assess what insulation measures your homes needs and install it free of charge.
A number of community projects on the Island have also attracted funding from this innovative scheme with British Gas.

This will reduce heat loss by 30% whilst also reducing the Hall’s heating costs.
