People across the North East can benefit from a free service offering advice on reducing energy bills.
Home Energy Advice North East provides free, expert guidance to help residents identify energy-saving improvements for their homes, apply for grants and connect with local installers; a one-stop shop for people wanting to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
As part of this programme, local community and environmental charities, Groundwork NE & Cumbria and Community Action Northumberland are offering free home visits from their team of energy advisors.
During the free-of-charge visits, lasting approximately one hour, the impartial experts will offer advice on improving energy efficiency tailored to each property. The visits will identify larger-scale home improvements such as wall and loft insulation, solar panels and new heating options that can reduce energy costs and your carbon footprint. Our advisors can answer your questions and provide information about various technologies, for example air source heat pumps and solid wall insulation.
The advisors also provide help, advice and guidance on grant funding and whether residents are eligible. If people qualify for financial assistance, the team can assist with the grant application process, and provide links to local installers and support households while the work takes place.
People in Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside can also benefit from over-the-phone advice to support residents in making energy-saving home improvements like insulation or updating their heating system. Advisors can also provide support with accessing funding, and links to local installers, making it easier for people to take action. To speak to an advisor call 0808 175 9345.
