Free Support to help reduce your energy bills.

Households who find it hard to heat their homes are being encouraged to apply to Nest, a Welsh Government scheme, which aims to make the least energy efficient homes warmer and cosier.

Ne...st is open to all householders in Wales, and provides advice on saving energy, money management, fuel tariffs, benefit entitlement and home improvements to help reduce the cost of energy bills.

In addition to advice, if you own or privately rent your home and receive a means tested benefit, you may also be eligible for free home improvements. These may include a new central heating boiler, loft insulation, cavity wall and solid wall insulation, draught proofing for doors and windows and green technology.

Over the past three years over 50,000 householders have received free advice and support and over 13,000 householders have received free home improvement measures and saved an average of £475 a year on their fuel costs.

Please contact Nest on Freephone 0808 808 2244 or www.nestwales.org.uk for advice on reducing fuel bills and to find out if you qualify for a package of energy improvements.

Organisations and their representatives can also contact Rick Ward, North Wales Partnership Development Manager, on: 07903 443655 or rick.ward@est.org.uk

Rick is available to come along and speak in depth to staff/volunteers and community groups about Nest and other support which is available. A short training session is also available free of charge.
