Boiler scheme to keep bills down

Cosy Homes in Lancashire (CHIL) will provide free or subsidised boilers and insulation measures as part of a partnership between every council in Lancashire and a number of energy industry companies.

Depending on the type of energy efficiency measures people need and personal circumstances, almost all residents could benefit, some to the tune of thousands of pounds.

The Cosy Homes in Lancashire scheme has been set up by all of Lancashire’s local authorities, including Blackpool, to help households get the most out of the Government’s Green Deal and ECO schemes designed to help insulate homes and make them more energy efficient.
