Energy Advice.

Our Energy Advice Service provides independent energy advice and education to individual homeowners, tenants and landlords of existing and new homes. We can also provide presentations to community groups and professionals working with (vulnerable) people in the community.

We offer the following services:

Home Performance Assessment

Our experienced and highly qualified energy advisors provide in-home energy advice tailored to the homeowner/occupant, the Home Performance Assessment. A Home Performance Assessment looks at everything that uses energy including heating, hot water, lighting, and appliances. The check takes approximately one hour and you will receive a written report which is tailored to the householder’s personal (including financial and practical) circumstances.

The report will include recommendations and cost-benefit estimates of various energy efficiency improvements. For subsidies including Home Performance Assessment, visit our subsidies page.

Group Presentations

Our energy advisor can provide presentations to community groups and professionals working with (vulnerable) people in the community. Sessions are tailored to the target group (e.g. homeowners or tenants). The advisor can provide advice and information about how to create a healthy, energy-efficient home, outline the services we offer, and discuss any subsidies available at the time. They can also demonstrate a number of low-cost energy efficiency products that are highly effective but not widely known.

Presentations are available in person or over Zoom. Group sessions are free, however, a gold coin donation per person attending would be much appreciated to ensure our trust can keep offering this service.

Advice by phone, email, online

Our energy advisors provide free, independent, no obligation advice over the phone or by email, specific to your situation. As a charitable trust, we can guarantee our advice will always be fair, objective and independent. Our best tips and solutions to the most common energy efficiency issues are found below:
