This project was started as a free service and available to all residents living in the Berwick area to support with energy related issues.
These include:
- Tariff Advice
- Advocacy Debt
- Management Advice
- How to improve the energy performance of your home
- How to access funding for energy improvements and accessing free boiler replacements for those who qualify.
Working with the Ebico Trust the project helped and supported in excess of 53 households, at least 17 of these have switched suppliers at an average saving of £236 per year, a total of £2227 of fuel debt eliminated and 5 new heating systems or boilers installed (for free) by referral to specific grant schemes.
