Citizens Advice Reading is there to help solve energy issues and help you save money
Has the cost of living caught up with you recently? Or maybe your New Year’s resolution is to sort your energy and gas bills out, once and for all. Citizens Advice Reading could help you solve your energy issues, and save yourself money.
Energy issues can be complicated to understand. When your gas and electricity bills arrive, do you know exactly what you are paying for? And if you do, is this the best tariff for your household? You may think you could save money on heating, with proper insulation and efficiency measures, but aren’t sure where to start.
You may want to investigate your entitlement to energy-related benefits. There are a wide range available, including:
– Warm Home Discount
– Cold Weather Payments
– Household Support fund
The ‘Not One Penny More’ Energy Project, funded by the Energy Saving Trust, is staffed by a team of specialist energy efficiency experts who can comprehensively assist you with these issues.
All the advisers are fully qualified through the accredited National Energy Action training programme. The Energy Project is fully integrated into the larger Citizens Advice team, so you can rest assured that you will get extensive support and advice, no matter how complex your query is.
You can access the service in a range of ways, to suit your commitments and lifestyle. Caversham and Reading residents have previously benefitted from the community outreach programme in the Rivermead Leisure Centre and the Weller Centre. The website, Get help has a simple self-referral form, which will allow you to book an appointment with an adviser. Alternatively, the office on Minster Street is open to drop-in and register between 10-12:30 on Wednesdays, and 10-3:30 on Thursdays, or you can call our energy appointment registration line on 0118 952 3025.
