I've just been energy audited as part of the Belsize Home Energy Efficiency Programme pilot for the whole of London. Up to 1,000 households will each receive 10 energy and water efficiency measures installed for free. The aim is to test the concept for the whole of London.
I have to say that the installer struggled to find much to put into our flat. She ended up giving us an hourglass shower timer and a multi-plug which has a little remote control enabling you to turn off electrical appliances rather than leave them on standby. Her visit did however prompt me to install the chimney balloon that I’ve had for a while!
One thing I didn’t know which came out of the visit was that Camden Council offers landlords up to £10,000 to fit more efficient boilers as well as loft, cavity wall and solid wall insulation so I've put our landlords on to that.
If you would like a free energy efficiency audit of your home, then please contact the Small Steps team at Camden Council on 0800 801 738 or by emailing info@smallstepsenergyvisits.co.uk.
