Energy Advice

South West London Energy Advice Partnership (SWLEAP)

is a partnership between Habitats & Heritage and Crew Energy providing a FREE energy service to help those living in Richmond, Wandsworth and Merton boroughs save energy. We know the pressures on finances which the current energy crisis is causing, particularly for people on low incomes or benefits. We are here to help.

SWLEAP offers Free Home Energy Visits with two of our trained Energy Advisors at a time to suit you. Our advisors will work with you to analyse your energy usage, heating system, insulation, lighting and energy behaviours (such as leaving lights on in empty rooms!). You can benefit from a range of energy saving items and which we can install at no cost, such as low energy lightbulbs (LED’s), radiator heat reflectors and insulation materials. We can also lend you an ‘Owl Energy Monitor’ to help you understand your electricity use at home! Following your home visit, you will receive an energy saving report outlining our top energy saving tips personalised to your home to maximise reducing your energy bill.

If preferred, we can offer a telephone energy advice session with one of our trained Energy Advisors. During your energy advice call or visit, you can also get support with your water bill, discounts you may be eligible for and any further support we can refer you to such as debt advice and benefits.

We also hold Energy Cafés where you can pop in and talk to us about your energy bills, you can find details of these on our website or by emailing or calling us.
