ENERGY ADVICE

The Energy Advice Unit has been working to help residents deal with any fuel related problems which they may have. We offer a FREE HOME VISIT which enables us to give advice which is specific to your individual needs and circumstances.

We can often help to reduce fuel costs, arrange repayments of arrears and prevent disconnection.

The Unit is also available to give talks to Community Groups on ENERGY ADVICE.
