A NEW initiative has been launched to improve energy efficiency in houses across Barnsley.

The initiative, known as Home Energy Experts, aims to support homeowners and landlords in making their homes more energy efficient through the installation of external wall insulation (EWI).

This upgrade not only reduces energy bills but also enhances thermal comfort and property value.

Westdale North Ltd, who have a base in Goldthorpe, have created the scheme.

Beshad Mousavi, strategic transformation manager at Westdale, said: “We’re proud to launch Home Energy Experts as a smarter, more accessible way for people to benefit from insulation upgrades.

“Energy efficiency can often feel complex, but our goal is to simplify the journey by making full use of digital tools.

“Through our online platform and the support of our experienced team, we’re helping homeowners and landlords understand their options, access funding and take meaningful steps towards warmer, more energy-efficient homes.”
