Request a visit from an Energy Doctor

If you want to improve the energy efficiency of your home you can request a visit from a domestic resource efficiency officer (called an 'Energy Doctor').

Energy Doctors can:

• advise on ways that eligible households can reduce energy consumption and costs
• put in place suitable low-cost easy retrofit resource efficiency (LCERRE) measures

LCERRE measures include:

• draught proofing for windows, doors, letterboxes and chimneys
• hot water cylinder insulation jackets
• reflective radiator panels
• secondary glazing film
• portable solar generators
• electricity consumption monitors
• thermometer cards
• LED lights

To qualify for a visit your home must meet all of the following criteria:

• you rent the property through a private rental agreement, or own and live in the property
• your household has an income of £30,000 or less (before tax), is in receipt of means tested benefits such as Universal Credit and Council Tax Support, or a member of your household is disabled
• the domestic property you live in has an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of D, E, F or G, or does not legally require an EPC

We will prioritise visits for those who meet these eligibility criteria and live in Opportunity Bucks areas.

To request a visit, contact Better Housing Better Health by:

• telephone: 0800 107 0044
• email: [email protected]

This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

Just under £2 million has been allocated to support the scheme until the end of March 2025.
