Warning: Misleading information about insulation subsidies and home batteries
Residents of Huizen have recently been approached by commercial companies offering insulation and home batteries. This happens through door-to-door visits, advertisements, and social media. Sometimes, these companies provide incorrect or misleading information about subsidies. They also sometimes pose as partners of the municipality or HuizenDuurzaam, which is not the case.
The incorrect or misleading information can cause confusion and lead to poor choices. Residents may, for example, think they are automatically entitled to a subsidy, or choose unreliable companies. There are also cases where people are pressured to sign up immediately for a subsidy, such as ‘Huizen Isoleert!’ This means you lose your freedom of choice.
The municipality of Huizen and HuizenDuurzaam urge residents to be vigilant.
