Day 5 – The Warm & Wise Men (and women)
Our specialist Warm and Wise team helps adults living across Nottinghamshire to stay safe, warm and independent in their own homes.
This year the team made 724 visits and supported 1440 householders to switch energy providers, learn more about reducing costs overall. Keeping them both warmer & wiser in their homes.
100% of those surveyed felt that the help and advice received from Warm & Wise has assisted them to reduce energy usage.
One user said:
“I like to think I am careful with my electricity and gas usage but feel that a lot of my efforts don't pay off. The Energy Advisor gave me many useful tips and advice for electricity i.e. freezer, usage of plugs, various cooking methods etc. Plus, all the information that is available within your organisation - and for practical help from external contacts for further practical help and guidance. He gave and installed 3 very useful under the door draught excluders which will certainly make a difference. Also, a variety of energy saving light bulbs. Finally, he gave his time for which I am most grateful and as "it says on the packet" I am now wiser i.e. heading in the right direction for warmth and saving energy usage. Thank you!”
