Signs of deception regarding insulation visits
In the coming period, you may receive a visit from the Regional Energy Desk on behalf of our municipality regarding insulation subsidies. The specialist will call at your door if you qualify for the insulation subsidy scheme. This insulation specialist is reliable and not a salesperson. You can recognize the insulation specialist by their blue municipal vest.
Free and non-binding insulation advice
The insulation specialist from the Regional Energy Desk will be happy to help you check whether your windows, crawl space, walls, and roof are suitable for insulation. They can also check if you qualify for a €1,500 subsidy for insulating your home. The visit is free, and you are under no obligation. You can schedule a longer appointment with the specialist via Regionaalenergieloket.nl/isolatiehulp.
We are receiving signals that companies are falsely posing as the municipality
We are receiving signals that insulation companies are currently also knocking on our residents' doors. What they are doing is permitted, as long as they do not indicate that they are cooperating with us as a municipality. We have also made it clear to these companies that they must explicitly state that they are not calling on our behalf.
You always choose who carries out your insulation
If you, as a resident, wish to make use of the insulation subsidy scheme, you can choose which company comes to your home to carry out the measures. You can accept the offer from the party at your door, or you can look for another insulation company yourself or request advice from the insulation specialist from the Regional Energy Desk.
