You could be eligible for around £5,000 of support and reduce your heating bills by around £300 per year too.
The Wise Group works with North Ayrshire Council managing its advice and insulation projects. They can speak to you and see if your home might be eligible for a grant for external wall insulation or solar roof panels to reduce energy bills and make your home more affordable to heat.
