Mid Ulster District Council give advice on Cutting Energy Costs with the Council’s Energy Efficiency Scheme

This winter, and into the New Year will see high energy prices possibly continue for Mid Ulster residents. Mid Ulster District Council is therefore encouraging residents to take timely advantage of its Energy Efficiency Scheme.

Under the Scheme, residents can contact the Council’s Energy Advisor, who can then provide tailored support for clients on how to be more energy efficient within their homes, including the generation of referrals to other available support schemes.

Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Eugene McConnell said: "If you or someone you know is facing challenges with rising energy bills, the start of the new year is an ideal time to reach out to us. Through the Energy Efficiency Scheme, you can access support to help reduce the impact on your household running costs in 2025.

"Depending on the needs of the individual households, the scheme can provide bespoke energy efficiency advice to help lower costs and increase the ability of buildings to hold heat; give information on local oil buying clubs and the Council’s Fuel Stamps Scheme that can reduce or help spread the cost of home heating oil; and assist with onward referrals for heating and insulation grants to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The Energy Efficiency Scheme is one of several schemes offered by Mid Ulster District Council to help residents with energy costs, such as its Fuel Stamp initiative and home visits to provide tailored information and support."
