Heating our homes can be costly, both financially and environmentally.
The less efficient at retaining heat a property is, the more energy is needed to bring it to a comfortable temperature and keep it there.
Generating this energy increases the amount of carbon released into the air. And each unit of energy you use increases your bill, so if heat is escaping your home too easily then you're losing money with it.
An Energy Efficiency Assessment - sometimes known as a retrofit assessment - is the crucial first step to fixing this. This evaluates how you use the property, the current state of your building and the existing heating, ventilation, and insulation systems to see where improvements can be made.
Suffolk councils are offering free or funded access to the assessment as part of the Warm Homes Suffolk campaign. The campaign aims to help households implement measures that reduce their fuel bills and also reduce carbon footprints, helping Suffolk towards its target of Net Zero by 2030.
