Saving energy in my home

Where can I get information about how to save energy?

• You can contact your energy supplier for information and advice to help you use your electricity or gas more efficiently, and information on renewables.

• Energy advice is also available on the NI Direct government website.

• The Consumer Council’s Switch On leaflet contains energy efficiency information.

• You can also contact NI Energy Advice who offer free independent and impartial energy advice, including advice about energy grants/schemes and other sources of help.

For example:

• The Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme (NISEP) provides help to install energy saving measures in your home. This can include energy-efficient boilers, heating controls, loft insulation and cavity wall insulation.

• The Affordable Warmth Scheme also provides support for energy efficiency measures and a Boiler Replacement Scheme is also available.
