Last chance: Home Energy Checks
Referrals for the Home Energy Checks for older adults are ending end of Feb.
This Age UK Birmingham service provides clients with a
home visit to discuss any advice and support they may need for keeping
warm and well in their home during winter. It is assessed whether
they could benefit from any free energy efficiency equipment, such as:
draft excluders, energy efficient light bulbs, night lights, letter box
brushes, radiator foil panels, manual socket timers. This is then fitted during
the visit. For older people living in inadequately heated homes with
cold related illness's, it is vital we support these vulnerable people during
winter months.
