Love to be more energy efficient but confused by conflicting advice online? Wouldn’t it be great to get unbiased advice about the energy hot spots in your house and what to do about them? Luckily, there are two places you can get advice for free:
Cotswold District Council’s Retrofit Engagement Officer offers home visits with free impartial advice on energy saving measures for your homes. This service is open to households with an income of £35,000 or over. As part of the retrofit project, they will also be offering Zoom talks, and free online training which local trades can take part in.
