Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP)

About

We are offering local residents a completely free of charge service. LEAP can help you to save money and keep your home warm and cosy.

What we do

If you have been struggling to pay your energy bills, please don’t think you’re alone. LEAP has a wide network of referral organisations who will refer anyone who is in or at risk of fuel poverty, 'fuel poverty’ is defined as a situation where someone who is on a relatively low income lives in a house that cannot be kept warm at a reasonable cost.

If you're eligible, you will get a free home visit from a friendly, qualified home energy advisor. LEAP can:

  • Install free, simple energy saving measures which can save the average household £30 on their energy bills a year.
  • Give you day to day energy efficiency hints and tips and ensure your heating system is set up to keep you warm and save money.
  • Help check if you are on the cheapest energy tariffs which could save you over £280 a year.
  • Refer you for further energy efficiency imrovements, such as loft insulation or a new boiler.
Who we help

LEAP has some very broad eligibility requirements. We want to be able to help as many people as we can by extending the service to anyone that either is already in, or is at risk of fuel poverty. It is open to all types of householders such as homeowners, private renters and social housing tenants.

You may be eligible if you:

  • Have a low income
