Supporting community buildings to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint in partnership with Utility Aid.
An increasing number of Cheshire and Warrington community buildings are struggling to cover increased energy costs and need advice and support to reduce energy usage, improve efficiency and consider new heating systems and renewable energy generation.
Community buildings have unusual energy use patterns compared to domestic properties as they are only occupied for a few hours of the day, but by large groups of individuals over the course of a week. Many have poor insulation, traditional lighting and inefficient heating systems, largely due to their age.
Utility Aid is the UK’s leading energy broker for the charity and not-for-profit sector and Cheshire Community Action is delighted to be working with them to support you to access their services. As well as helping to secure new contracts with your Electric, Gas, and Water, Utility Aid can also help with supplier problems, inaccurate bills, advising on renewable energy options, and your journey to ‘Net Zero’.
Members of Cheshire Community Action will also have access to Utility Aid’s Invoice Validation Service, often recouping hundreds of pounds from past bills if they find you’ve overpaid. Over £6 million has been recouped for customers already.
