Labour's Cllr Keith Martin is calling on Mayo's building trade contractors to register with Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) so that they can take part in the recently announced Home Energy Saving scheme which will provide grants to homeowners who invest in energy efficiency improvements.
Currently the SEI are compiling a Registered List of contractors who will be approved to undertake work on the scheme and once there are sufficient number of registered contractors the scheme will open for homeowner applications.
The scheme will grant aid homeowners for Roof Insulation, Wall Insulation (this includes either cavity wall, internal dry lining or external insulation), Replacing High Efficiency Gas or Oil fired Boilers with Heating Controls and/or the undertaking of a Building Energy Rating.
According to Cllr Martin "This is an ideal opportunity for those in Mayo's building trade to find new work and create employment in the area of making Mayo homes more energy efficient. I would urge all of Mayo's builders and associated tradesmen to register with the SEI as soon as possible so that they can be available for the uptake on the scheme. I anticipate that there will be a huge demand for the scheme, based on the number of queries I have dealt with on the issue.
"In the meantime householders can register their interest in the scheme by visiting www.sei.ie, by calling 1850 927000 or e-mailing hes@sei.ie The SEI expect to begin issuing application forms to householders applying for grants towards the end of March or early April once they have a sufficient number of contractors registered for the scheme. I would call upon every Mayo builder to register for this new opportunity."
