Helping you to get insulated

We know it can be a bit of a minefield deciding how to improve your home. We're here to advise on accessing the Green Homes Grant, and which measures might be best for your home. We can also make referrals for ECO funded energy saving measures. And we'll never try to sell you anything because we're not installers!
​Email us if you need help getting your home insulated. ​

​Talks and training
We can offer training to front line workers who already go out into peoples homes, to help vulnerable householders access advice to reduce their bills and make their homes more comfortable. We're currently doing this via Zoom. If you're interested, drop us a line!

Home Energy Advice

However we are able to talk, whether in person or over the phone, we're here to help.  Our qualified energy advisors can give tips on how to reduce your energy use, tackle damp and condensation and make sure you're on the best tariff. During  a LEAP visit we can even fit draught proofing and new LED lightbulbs, all for FREE.  Find out more or refer in here...

Face to face advice "drop-ins"

We're itching to get back out to see you in the community, and are now booking in drop-in sessions. If you'd like us to come to your group or a particular venue please get in touch.
