AS TEMPERATURES drop this winter, a new networking website is being promoted to help people in South Gloucestershire keep their homes more energy efficient.

Residents, community groups and businesses are being encouraged to visit the Link to Energy website if they are planning to make changes to their homes and premises.

The site that is run by the Severn Wye Energy Agency, puts people directly in contact with local installers and is supported by South Gloucestershire Council.

Its aim is to help connect the growing number of businesses in the region that specialise in offering energy efficient heating, lighting, insulation and renewable technologies with homeowners, businesses and community groups that are hoping to benefit from the savings these improvements can provide.

South Gloucestershire Council’s communities chairman Cllr Heather Goddard said: “This network offers a fantastic opportunity for people in the district to be able to find and contact local installers of energy efficient services and technologies.

“As energy prices remain unpredictable, more and more residents and business owners will be looking for ways to make savings and become more energy efficient. 

“They will need local qualified businesses to carry out the work and this network is a great way to find services you can trust.”
