Help with energy bills during Covid-19:
Information on how energy companies are protecting customers can be found here: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-covid-19-and-your-energy-supply
​
As we move again into lockdown, we have had to suspend home visits once more. We are able to provide almost entirely the same level of advice over the phone, video calls or by email. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any help with your home energy. If you are self-isolating and worried about your energy bills we can still find a way to help. We will be able to add you to a waiting list for a visit once lockdown finishes if there is something which we can't complete remotely.

At SDCE, we are passionate about saving energy as well as generating it, both to reduce our carbon emissions and lift people out of fuel poverty. 
What can we do?
This year, in light of safety concerns, we are offering:

Home energy advice via
  • Home visits
  • Phone calls,
  • Video calls or
  • Email.
​We can help you reduce your energy use and how much you spend.

Zoom based briefings on the services we provide, what we can help with, who we can help and how to refer to us. 
We are the local LEAP advisors for the South Hams. LEAP includes free LED bulbs, and other basic energy efficiency measures.

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!
​Contact 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. Sometimes we can even come out to fit draught proofing and new LED lightbulbs, all for FREE.  Find out more or refer in here...

Face to face advice "drop-ins"

Unfortunately these activities are on hold for now. As soon as it's safe, we'll be back at a community event near you!
If you would like to get involved with any of these projects please contact us.
