In response to the pressure being caused by the cost-of living increase, Age Connects Torfaen has established a partnership with LEAP (Local Energy Advice Partnership).
Our free energy advice home visit will check your utility tariff, benefits, offer advice on energy saving measures and equipment (including LED bulbs, draft excluders, radiator reflectors).
This service is available to anyone :
With a household income below £31k or
In receipt of a range of benefits.
During the visit with an Energy Advisor, they will look to install some simple energy efficiency measures including door brushes, hot water cylinder jackets and radiator panels.
Your home may also benefit from some extra insulation and/or heating system replacement. If this is the case the Energy Advisor will try to find suitable funding for you which may offer partial or full grants towards the cost of heating or insulation for your home. Our Energy Advisor will also look at whether you would benefit from a full benefits assessment. This service can help you apply for any benefits you may be entitled to but are not claiming, help you manage any debts and provide general money advice. It may also be appropriate to let your local council know about a possible home hazard that has been identified during the visit.
