Energy advice

Derby Homes Energy Efficiency Team

Our Energy Efficiency Team provides free advice to tenants and leaseholders on how they can save energy and reduce their bills. We want to encourage as many people as possible to improve energy efficiency and cut their carbon footprint. We do this by providing energy saving tips and advice, as well as guidance on using energy monitoring equipment. We also provide information about the grants that are available to help make homes more energy efficient.

Information on energy saving is also provided by Derby City Council Home Energy team. The Derby Homes energy advice is specifically targeted at supporting vulnerable tenants who access the tenancy sustainment team.

You can also watch a DVD featuring Jo Brand which provides information on how you can save energy in your home.

We also have a useful leaflets on Energy Advice and Dealing with Condensation which can be downloaded from this page or posted out to you if you prefer.

You can also get useful information about energy saving products, grant offers and reducing your carbon footprint on websites such as the Carbon Trust, the Energy Saving Trust, and Energy Choices.
