Post date: 29-Mar-2012 06:21:35
Energy companies are falling so far short of government insulation targets, they are now paying to get hold of the names of the neediest householders. British Gas will pay £50 to anyone who refers "vulnerable" family members, friends and neighbours for free loft and cavity wall insulation from the company.
Referrers will receive the sum for every individual on qualifying benefits whose details they pass on, with no limit to the number they can refer. Those who qualify must be on pension credit, certain income-related benefits or receiving child tax credit, and have an income of less than £16,190.
The referred customer will also receive £50 once the installation has been carried out, in addition to the money they will save on their bills following insulation.
Neither the referrer nor the beneficiary need to buy gas or electricity from British Gas to take part in the scheme, but the firm is also offeringfree insulation to all new and existing energy customers. More details on how to apply or refer can be found on the link below:
