Energy advice

Energy Efficiency in Your Home

The Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) was passed to ensure that councils promote energy efficiency measures to their residents.

Nottingham City Council's Housing Energy team has been established to promote, implement and monitor energy efficiency improvements to homes in the City, whether they are council houses, privately-owned houses or the homes of people who rent privately.

Nottingham is currently on course to meet the target set by HECA of a 30 per cent reduction in 15 years (between 1996 and 2011), having reduced it's domestic energy consumption as a city by 17.8 per cent by April 2004.

Grants, subsidies and special schemes are available covering a wide range of measures such as cavity wall, solid wall and loft insulation, super efficient boilers and solar measure.

There are also free low energy lightbulbs available to anyone receiving a benefit and for many households receiving a Tax Credit. Call the number below to see if you qualify. Energy-efficient measures, particularly insulation and boilers, can significantly reduce gas and electricity bills.

Check out if you qualify for these measures by using the menu on the left.
