Frequently Asked Questions

How will the Energy Company Obligation Scheme help me save money?

Improving how energy-efficient our homes are is the best way to use less energy at home and lower heating bills. This scheme involves installing insulation which helps stop heat from escaping and saves money on heating. This is because insulation works by keeping the heat inside your home stopping it from getting out through the attic, windows, and walls.

How do I find my Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating?

You can find your EPC rating on the EPC register or by asking your landlord or housing association.
