British Gas said that more than 330,000 of the homes it supplies have so far benefited from energy efficiency measures installed under the Eco scheme, such as free loft and cavity-wall insulation and free energy-efficient boilers for those who qualify.
The supplier also completed 49 community insulation schemes for social housing residents, two of which included renewable bio-mass boiler community heating systems.
British Gas Residential Energy managing director Stephen Beynon said: “We’ve had fantastic feedback from people whose homes have been transformed through this scheme. It helps them manage their energy use and keep their bills down. Now is the time for people to think about making the most of these offers.”
He said the company was now “pressing on to deliver the March 2017 target”.
“We’re going to keep up the pace in our efforts to deliver insulation and heating measures to hundreds of thousands more British homes,” he continued.
Eco is a government scheme which requires energy companies to improve the energy efficiency of people’s homes.
In total, under Eco and earlier government-led energy efficiency schemes, British Gas has installed more than 3.8 million energy efficiency measures in homes around the country.
