'Save Money, Keep Warm' Urges Local MSP

BANFF PENSIONER EXPLAINS ADVANTAGES TO STEVENSON

Local MSP Stewart Stevenson has praised Carillion Energy Services in Scotland for helping households in his constituency lower their fuel bills and cut carbon emissions.

Mr Stevenson met with Mark Hampson, Relationship Director for Carillion Energy Services to hear first hand about the work being done in Banffshire & Buchan Coast and in particular the work carried out at the home of constituent, Mr Paterson of Banff, who has just had cavity wall insulation installed.

Insulating a home to the recommended level can save hundreds of pounds a year on domestic energy bills, and cut annual carbon emissions. With having Cavity Wall Insulation installed into his property there will be an average of 560kg of CO2 emissions saved per annum on Mr Paterson house. In many cases the work has been carried out completely free through Government and utility energy related initiatives which help private households tackle energy efficiency improvements across the housing stock in Scotland.

“I was pleased to meet with Mr Paterson and hear first hand about the work undertaken by Carillion Energy Services in his home. Installing energy efficiency measures which make a real difference to householders and demonstrates the way in which householders can manage rising energy costs and also make an impact upon climate change. These measures are the easiest and most sustainable way of making our homes warm and affordable heat – particularly if our winters are going to be as severe as the past two.

“In Scotland we have committed to becoming a leader in the drive for a low carbon economy and this commitment is backed up through the work of companies such as Carillion Energy Services.”

Formerly Eaga, Carillion Energy Services is at the forefront of the low carbon economy and of efforts to tackle climate change.

From its Scotland operation based in Livingston it has around 300 staff and works with a number of councils, local authorities and private customers to provide a range of large scale green energy solutions including insulation, heating and renewable technologies such as solar PV, ground and air source heat pumps.
