Argyll, Lomond and the Isles Energy Agency Argyll Energy Advice Service
Funded Project: Description
Home energy advice will be delivered to at least 4500 households, focusing particularly on rural off-gas households, across this large and remote area, where fuel poverty levels are some of the highest in the UK.
This thorough and comprehensive service will offer a range of energy advice topics to raise awareness, increase resilience and reduce the risk of fuel poverty. Including advice on switching suppliers and tariffs, support dealing with energy companies, and referrals for insulation and heating replacement schemes.
They will offer a mix of home visits, face-to-face advice at events and telephone sessions.
The project will also deliver free training events to at least 250 frontline workers who support vulnerable or disadvantaged people, to help them to recognise and refer fuel-poor households.
