Energy saving advice

In winter we start to reach for the thermostat and our energy use goes up. To help homeowners lower their energy use, Green Energy UK has launched an energy saving helpline. The freephone helpline is endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust and offers callers practical advice on how to save energy, which is tailored to their individual circumstances. Green Energy UK, a supplier of 100% renewable and 100% green electricity, believes this gives homeowners a fantastic opportunity to help the environment.

Liz Bell, a member Green Energy UK’s award-winning customer service team, and one of those who will be giving the public advice, explains: “We’re not telling people to switch everything off and sit in the dark. There are many simple ways homeowners can save energy without making big changes to their lifestyle. Every home is different, so to maximise the potential of energy saving, we supply specialist advice that is just for you. Homeowners can make a real difference in reducing carbon dioxide emissions as well as helping the nation’s fuel resources go further simply by reducing their energy use. Of course by saving energy, people will also save money on their bills.”

Homeowners can call the Green Energy UK team, who have been trained by the Energy Saving Trust, on 0800 783 8851. As well as receiving advice on how to use energy more efficiently, callers can be advised on other energy saving measures for their home, such as insulation, and grants that may be available.
