The LEAP Energy Advice Service plays an essential role in helping families to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs with professional and personalised support. One of the highlights of our service is the home visit, available in eligible regions. In this blog, we’ll explore what you can expect during your LEAP Energy Advice home visit and who is eligible to benefit from this valuable service.
The Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP) provides comprehensive energy advice services across the UK. LEAP’s outreach ensures that a wide range of householders can receive the necessary guidance and support. Each visit gives you access to expert energy advice tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring that you can make informed decisions about your energy usage.
LEAP is here to reach as many vulnerable homes as possible, especially those who are struggling with fuel poverty. If you are a homeowner, private renter, or part of a social housing scheme, you may qualify for a LEAP energy advice visit. Additionally, if you receive one of several financial assistance programmes, such as Income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Universal Credit, you may also be eligible for a LEAP home visit. Families with a total annual income of less than £31,000 can also benefit from the service.
Each application starts with the LEAP Energy Advice call, an initial telephone chat that helps us to understand your needs and see if you qualify for our services. Only after this call can you access further support, such as the boiler and appliance schemes, as your Energy Advisor helps determine which of these programmes is most useful for you.
During a LEAP home visit, a qualified Energy Advisor will conduct a thorough assessment of your home’s current energy efficiency. This visit is designed to identify key areas where energy improvements and money savings can be made.
Here’s what you can expect from your visit:
The advisor will evaluate whatever energy measures you currently have, and identify any quick improvements that can save energy and reduce costs straight away.
Based on your assessment, the advisor may install simple energy-saving measures such as LED light bulbs or draft-proofing strips.
You will always receive personalised energy advice based on the latest standards and practices; this ensures your home operates as efficiently as it realistically can, saving you the most amount of money possible.
If necessary, the advisor will coordinate follow-up visits with other local service providers in your area, to address any more efficiency and safety concerns that may require urgent attention.
LEAP Energy Advisors are not only trained professionals but also committed to providing an excellent service experience. Here’s what you can expect:
Advisors will ensure that all interactions are conducted with clarity and respect. They are dedicated to maintaining confidentiality and privacy of all household data, so your information is always safe with us.
You will receive advice that is accurate and reflects the latest energy practices and standards, tailored specifically to your home’s needs; no two homes are the same, so you can be sure that the advice we give, works for you.
Should any issues arise after your visit, or if further efficiency assessments are needed, advisors commit to timely follow-ups to ensure the continued effectiveness of the suggested changes.
LEAP Energy Advice home visits offer a valuable opportunity to enhance your home’s energy efficiency, potentially leading to significant cost savings. Book a call with us and take full advantage of this supportive service, so we can help manage your transition towards a healthier, more energy-efficient home.
