CEP CEO Dr Tim Jones comments:
We meet a lot of homeowners who are uncertain about how to make the right choices in upgrading their properties, especially needing reassurance about low carbon technologies like heat pumps. Many are looking for help in planning these changes, so they do things in the right order. While there is a lot of information available online, sorting out the good from the unhelpful can be a real challenge.
Our team of low carbon energy advisors are here to provide help and guidance in an impartial and easy-to-understand way … helping local residents and communities make the transition to cleaner and greener alternatives
