Save on your energy bills this year

Is your home draughty and expensive to heat? 

With utility bills expected to rise this year, now is the time to think about the energy efficiency of your home. 

If you own your house, have a household income of less than £31k and have heating that isn't mains gas with an EPC rating of D,E,F or G, you could be eligible for some home improvements. This could include better insulation and a carbon heating system. 

We are working with partners South Dartmoor Community Energy to help lower income households in the most need of upgrading.

Don't know your EPC rating? You can look it up
