Energy saving hardware

Mole23

I live in a victorian house (no cavity walls) and have loft insulation and double glazing.
I would like an independent energy saving advice company to advise the most cost effective solutions: solar panels, insulating the walls, triple glazing, ground and air source heat exchange units etc.
How can I obtain this? Googling doesn't seem to yield any results.

You would think in these times of high energy prices that you wouldn't be able to move without tripping over an Energy Saving Advisor.  But actually they're extremely thin on the ground.  Perhaps if you are struggling to afford the cost of your energy you won't have the funds to pay an advisor?

You may wish to check with your parish council to see if there are any schemes.

In our parish, we have, for 8 weeks, got a thermal imaging camera available for parishioners to use to see where the cold spots are.  This is free of charge and part of a county wide Warm Homes initiative.   The cameras are doing the rounds around parishes.

A visit to the National Self-Build and Renovation Centre might be a good start.

A permanent exhibition plus a regular programme of seminars and workshops.

Or a consultation with a designer member of AECB could be another route.

I wonder how many get nothing but complaints when people take their advice, but do not see bills come down.
