Could you upgrade your home heating with a £7,500 grant?

Wirral residents are being invited to hear from experts on home heating and learn about the financial grants available to heat and insulate their homes.

The event, hosted by Cool Wirral and Energy Projects Plus takes place at Christ Church Community Centre in Bebington on Tuesday 29 October from 6pm to 8pm. Its aim is to help residents devise a cost-effective heating plan for their homes, as well as provide information on grant funding worth £7,500 to install a heat pump system. 

Heat pumps are an energy efficient, low carbon way to heat your home. They’re suitable for almost all types of home and, depending on what heating system you’re replacing, could save you money on your energy bills. 

During the evening, visitors will hear from Bebington resident, Ed, who had a heat pump installed at his home in June 2023 and from Energy Projects Plus representative, Katie. Audience questions and discussion are encouraged.

Energy Projects Plus is an independent social enterprise and registered environmental charity that has been in operation since 1995. They work with a variety of partners to help deliver projects that focus on improving home energy efficiency and reducing fuel poverty. 

Katie will talk about how you can reduce energy usage at home, save money on bills, and how Energy Projects Plus may be able to assist residents with keeping warm and well at home.

Katie will also talk about different grants and funding that is available to improve the energy efficiency of your home and the retrofit measures - like insulation - that would be recommended alongside the installation of a heat pump.

The event is free but ticketed, so booking is essential.
