Keeping Salford warm and safe

Cooler days and nights are coming but you can stay warm and safe with advice from Salford City Council’s Warm Salford scheme.

Visit www.salford.gov.uk/warmsalford or call The Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP) on 0800 060 7567 and let a qualified energy advisor help. They can:

• Check if you’re paying too much for gas and electricity and help you switch if you are. You could save up to £280 a year.

• Help you get a smart meter which tells you how much energy you’re using

• Install free draught-proofing and other energy saving measures, which can save the average household £30 on their energy bills.

• Give you up-to-date energy efficiency hints and tips and make sure your heating system is set up to keep you warm and save money.

• Arrange a free telephone advice service to check you’re getting all the benefits you’re entitled to or help you with debt or other money problems.

• Refer you for more energy efficiency improvements, such as loft insulation or a new boiler.

Don’t forget – gas appliances should be checked every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. See Warm Salford for details or call Helping Hands on 0161 793 9419.
