Energy Saving Plan Builder

We’ve teamed up with Parity Projects to offer a free, easy to use online tool to explore the energy efficiency improvements that best suit your home and budget. 

The Energy Saving Plan Builder will suggest energy-saving measures for your home based on the goals you set, along with the estimated costs and savings of each measure.

Find out more on our Energy Saving Plan Builder page.
 

Energy Company Obligation (ECO)

Under the ECO scheme, medium and large energy suppliers provide funding for energy efficiency improvements—such as insulation, heating upgrades and solar PV panels—for low-income or vulnerable households that are owner-occupied or privately rented.

We have signed a Statement of Intent, which means that under the 'flexible eligibility' element of the ECO we can seek further support for certain households whose health is put at risk by living in a cold home.

For details of registered ECO installers across West Sussex and other grant funding for energy efficiency measures, speak to the Citizens Advice in West Sussex Partnership (listed above) or for more information, visit the heating, Insulation and low carbon heating grants page on the West Sussex Energy website.

Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP)

Residents living on a low income or vulnerable to the cold may be eligible for a free home energy visit. This service includes tailor made home energy saving advice, FREE simple energy saving measures and onward referrals for energy efficiency grants. Visit the LEAP website for more information.
