LEAP home energy visits offer free support to help you keep warm, and save money.
Big measures
Improving your home is a big way to cut down on your energy bills. LEAP can check if you are eligible and help you apply for government-funded measures such as Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar Panels and Insulation.
Easy measures
We provide free LED bulbs, draught-proofing, energy-saving plugs and more – we can install these for you for free and these quick changes will save you money over time.
Advice
Our Home Energy Advisors are fully trained to spot any areas you can save money – from using your heating system more efficiently and spotting errors on your energy bills to referring you for a free Income Maximisation call for full debt advice. We can also put you in touch with other organisations in the area.

Anyone worried about paying their bill should contact their supplier in the first instance. All domestic energy customers will receive at least £400 towards their energy bills, with further support for the most vulnerable households.

How can I apply for free LED lightbulbs please? On carers allowance as I’m a full time carer for my son who has severe and complex mental health conditions as well as learning disabilities. I also get universal credit. Just struggling with my energy bills as well as cost of living for both of us, and am trying to find any way to get some light bulbs please.
