HOMES in Delph and Dobcross are benefit from an £835,000 scheme that will deliver upgrades.
Association First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO) will install triple glazed windows and carry out loft and cavity wall insulation work at 26 older homes in the villages.
Other improvements include ventilation upgrades, new roofs, insulated doors and solar panels.
The retrofit programme is part of FCHO’s commitment to upgrade all its homes by 2030 to ensure they have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of at least C.
And its project manager for investment delivery Chris Goode believes the project will be completed by December.
He said: “Over the coming months, our contractor Connolly will undertake both internal and external work to these homes as we make sure they are fit for the future.
“It is also the first time all FCHO homes on any estate have received retrofitted solar panels as we continue to offer more and more ways to make our homes greener, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.”
