Home Energy Advice Team Hub
The Project
The Home Energy Advice Team (HEAT) Hub provides local and innovative in-person energy advice, ranging from free home energy plans to workshops, webinars, and educational resources. The aim is to deliver one-on-one energy support to households living in hard-to-heat properties within conservation areas or those who are off the gas-grid.
The UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe which is in urgent need of retrofit. HEAT’s targeted support aims to capture the complexities of these buildings, offering a whole-house approach to simplify energy efficiency, as well as helping to cut carbon emissions and household bills.

So far…
The Story
Funded by the Energy Redress Scheme, HEAT Hub has now been successfully renewed for a further two-year period, building on the momentum from its initial two-year pilot.
Originally launched as part the Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD) government programme. HEAT Hub was one of 36 government-funded pilot schemes designed to demonstrate the benefits of in-person energy advice to self-funding homeowners across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (D2N2).
Now, the project will be independently led by Nottingham Energy Partnership (NEP), aiming to improve the homes of Nottinghamshire residents and specifically, those living in “hard to treat” homes with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of E-G, off the gas grid or in conservation areas. The project supports residents with starting their retrofit journeys, making their homes more energy efficient, reducing carbon emissions and improving comfort.
In-person expert advice via workshops, webinars, and events will continue to give local homeowners access to a range of support, from practical, hands-on sessions to comprehensive, step-by-step Home Energy Plans.
Whether you are looking for advice and resources on how to improve your home or need help implementing upgrades, we can help.
