The recent energy price increases mean that everyday tasks are piling pressure on our household budgets. If you’re struggling to afford the energy costs for your home, you might be in fuel poverty.

You’re classed as being in fuel poverty if you spend too much money on your energy bills, without having enough money left over to meet other necessities.

The main causes of fuel poverty are:

• poor energy efficiency of the home
• low income
• high fuel prices
• how you use your energy

We offer a free and impartial energy advice service to all tenants. Our Energy Advisors can help you find practical and affordable ways to save energy, understand your gas and electricity bills, understand your tariffs, switch suppliers (unfortunately not an option at present), provide advice on gas and electricity utility debt, and help with Warm Home Discount Scheme applications. They can also advise on any other financial support/grants that might be available to you depending on your personal circumstances.
