​We have temporarily suspended our home visits and drop-in sessions, however we are still able to provide almost entirely the same level of advice over the phone 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.

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?
  • Give an interactive talk to your group
  • Hold a drop in advice session
  • Come to your coffee morning
  • Deliver LEAP visits for eligible householders
  • Train your staff or volunteers on how to help your clients
  • Run a small group workshop 
We are the local LEAP advisors for the South Hams. LEAP includes free LED bulbs, and other basic energy efficiency measures.

Face to face advice 

We are qualified energy advisors, we would love to help you save energy. We can run stands at community events, and offer LEAP visits and other home visits in some cases. We can advise householders, businesses, schools and community buildings. We can run small group workshops, this is a really effective method.

Smart meters

Smart meters are coming, they will show how much energy used in real time to put householders in control of their energy bills. We would like to help vulnerable customers find out how to get one installed and how to use their meter.

​Talks and training

We can come out to groups to give talks on how to save energy at home. We can also 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.

Helping you to get insulated

In the past there were a number of schemes offering discounted and free insulation. In the future we hope to be able to use some of the community fund to support discounted loft and cavity wall insulation for vulnerable householders in our area.
​Contact us if you need help getting your home insulated. ​
If you would like to get involved with any of these projects please contact us.
