Bedford Borough Council is promoting the 'Warmer Beds' Home Insulation Scheme which provides discounted or free home insulation under the Government's Carbon Emission Reduction Target Scheme.  This enables homeowners to  become more energy efficient and save money on their heating bills.

You can apply for discounted or FREE insulation under this scheme if your home has less than 120mm loft insulation or no insulation in the cavity walls - a free home insulation check can be undertaken - call 0800 043 5690.  The checks are carried out by a Street Energy surveyor; a list of these is held by the Council and you may check they are genuine by calling the Council on 01234 267422.

The cost of this scheme is:

Cavity Wall Insulation      £99                   Loft Insulation          £99           All households

but FREE for any home occupant in receipt of qualifying benefits or over 60 years of age.
