Free Home Energy Assessments until 31st March
21st Jan 2025
In order to help households in rural Rother improve energy efficiency and reduce energy bills, Citizens Advice 1066 are offering free home energy assessments for eligible households, as part of the government-funded Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD). This project ends on 31 March, so time is running out to find out if you can get a free assessment.
If you live in a rural part of Rother District and are a homeowner, landlord or private tenant then you may be eligible to participate in this project. Anyone who is in a 'hard to reach' demographic or a 'hard to treat' home, such as older buildings and those not on mains gas, can be included. If you know someone else who may be eligible, feel free to pass details on to them too.
For further information on the scheme and eligibility requirements, please visit the Citizens Advice 1066 website, or phone 01424 869 352 and leave a message mentioning LEAD.
