Carmarthenshire Council's partner organisation Miller Pattison will be visiting properties in the county to assess homes for insulation work - including loft and cavity wall insulation.

This will be free to many people, including over 70's and those on wide range of welfare benefits. The council will be writing to households in areas Miller Pattison will be working in to tell them about the scheme.

Householders should ask for identification and make sure callers are who they say they are.

The council can also direct referrals to the Welsh Assembly Government’s Home Energy Efficiency Scheme, where people over 60 will qualify for at least £500 grant towards home energy efficiency for things such as repairs to a heating system which has broken down, or replacing solid fuel heating with a more efficient oil or gas system.
