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.
