ii). Request a home visit

Residents who have a household income of under £31,000 or those in receipt of benefits, can sign up for a free home visit. A trained home energy adviser will assess your home, install free energy-saving measures such as fixing LED light bulbs and providing draught providers, and provide bespoke advice for you and your property on how to save money and conserve energy. Funding is also available to help residents apply for energy efficient, cost-effective products such as white goods and carpets (subject to eligibility criteria).
