Home Energy Saving
We all use energy in our homes to provide heating and run
appliances. In the UK the majority of this energy is
generated from burning fossil fuels such as gas and coal.
This process produces carbon dioxide, a major cause of climate
change.
In this country our homes are responsible for 25% of the
carbon dioxide emissions. In Eastleigh we are helping
residents to reduce their energy use. Over 1,000 households
each year are advised by the Energy Savings Trust Advice
Centre (ESTAC) through the free Home Energy Check
Service.
To take advantage of this service or further advice
on energy conservation or about options for renewable energy in
your home call the local Energy Savings Trust Advice
Centre on 0800 512 012.
The Council's Home Energy Conservation and Fuel Poverty
Strategy explains the work we are doing to reduce energy use in
domestic properties. View the
Strategy
pdf
that covers the
period 2008 and 2011. This is accompanied by an
Action Plan pdf (both
open in a new window).
The
Energy Saving Trust
website is an excellent source of information on
insulation, heating, energy efficient appliances and
lighting.
