Ten thousand pounds of energy efficiency work could be available free of charge to some residents in the Scarborough Borough.
The North Yorkshire Home Efficiency Fund is aiming to reduce energy bills and cut carbon emissions through a Government scheme aimed at raising the energy efficiency of “low income and low energy performance homes”.
The Borough Council's Climate Change programme manager - Harry Barros - says there is still time to apply for the funds.
The types of free improvements that are available include external wall and loft insulation, solar panels, air source heat pump and high heat retention electric storage heaters.
To qualify for the funding, residents should have a household income of £30,000 or less or receive income-related benefits and their home must have an energy performance certificate of either E, F, or G.
The scheme is being administered by YES Energy Solutions is working with North Yorkshire County Council to provide residents in Hambleton, Ryedale and Scarborough borough with fully funded home improvements.
Funding applications can be submitted via YES Energy Solutions’ online form on their website at https://www.yesenergysolutions.co.uk/schemes/north-yorkshire-home-efficiency-fund
