Warm Zone is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make your home warm and comfortable. Over recent years Kirklees Council has carried out regular campaigns to encourage people to take up home energy efficiency and heating grants, and benefits that are going unclaimed. These campaigns rely on residents coming forward to see if they are affected but the Warm Zone initiative actually takes the service directly to people’s homes.

Kirklees Warm Zone will be coming to every ward in Kirklees during the three year project. We started in Crosland Moor & Netherton ward, followed by Denby Dale and as of October 2007 we are in Dewsbury West. We will be visiting every household in Kirklees during the project. We’ll write to you first to let you know when we will be in your area, and we will come back if we miss you the first time.  If we still miss you the third time, we will leave a questionnaire for you to complete yourself and return to us in a freepost envelope provided.

When we visit to carry out the assessment we just need to ask you some questions. This will take about ten minutes and we won’t need to come into your home. The insulation is free for everyone, regardless of age, income or size of property – just as long as your property is suitable. Following the assessment, Miller Pattison (our contracted insulation company) will arrange an appointment to survey your property, and if it is suitable they will make a further appointment to carry out the work. Even if you already have loft and cavity wall insulation, there are many more benefits so it is still worth completing the assessment. For example you may also be interested in replacing your boiler, getting central heating for the first time or obtaining a good deal on a solar panel. The Warm Zone really does have something for everyone.
