Helping Warwickshire Residents Save on Energy Bills

Act on Energy is actively engaging with communities across South Warwickshire during Big Green Week 2024, offering free home energy audits and retrofit advice to residents. These initiatives aim to promote energy-efficient home improvements that benefit both the environment and help households reduce their energy bills in the long term.

Engaging with Local Communities

Act on Energy has been present at major events, including:

• Stratford’s Big Green Week
• Kenilworth’s Clean Air Day
• Lillington’s Clean Green Bash

At these events, Act on Energy’s expert advisers have been providing practical advice on home energy efficiency, the Household Support Fund in Birmingham and Warwickshire, and how simple changes can make a big impact on reducing energy costs.

Expert Advice on Energy Efficiency

Why Energy Efficiency Matters

Louise Bowlt, who leads Act on Energy’s energy efficiency retrofit team, highlighted the importance of reducing household energy consumption:

“With energy bills still high and expected to remain so, we understand people’s concerns about affordability. The energy you don’t use is, of course, the cheapest – and that’s where effective energy efficiency measures really make a difference. Our team provides free, impartial advice on ways to cut down on energy use while staying warm and comfortable.”

She also stressed the importance of reducing carbon emissions:

“Taking steps to lower our energy use at home has a positive impact on the environment. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed about climate change, but even small actions add up to make a big difference. We have a responsibility to future generations to address the evidence of climate change and reduce our carbon footprint.”
