Are you and your home ready for the cold weather?
If you are struggling to keep warm this winter, get in touch with us for a home energy check. We can help by making sure your home is energy efficient.
What happens during a home energy check?
An experienced energy advisor from our partner Marches Energy Agency 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.
Who is eligible?
This service is free and is available to older people who are finding it difficult to keep their homes warm and are therefore at risk of cold-related illnesses. This could include people who are struggling to pay their bills, who are in fuel debt, who have no heating, or don’t know how to work their heating controls.
