Are you and your home ready for the cold weather?

What happens during a home energy check?

One of our experienced handypersons will visit your home to:
• Discuss and assess your heating patterns, health needs and home environment
• Install simple energy efficiency equipment, such as draught excluders around doors and windows, radiator panels and foils
• Give some key tips and advice and distribute relevant information guides on how to keep warm and save energy
• Provide information on other support services, depending on your needs.
