Please read our Energy Strategy and learn more about what we are doing for sustainable energy.

We have obligations under the Home Energy Conservation Act (1995) to improve the energy efficiency of homes in the borough. It has chosen to do this through a strategy of awareness raising and developing schemes to increase take-up of appropriate measures and financial assistance.

For more information on how you can save energy in the home, visit our Virtual House.  Alternatively, you can contact the Energy Efficiency Advice Centre, free on 0800 512012. 

You may be eligible for a council grant to help improve the energy efficiency of your home. Find out more by going to the Home Improvement Grants pages.

In addition, there are currently some special offers available for residents in receipt of certain benefits. Also, a pack of low energy light bulbs is available for collection from our offices.

If you are not eligible for a council grant, you can still get a discounted rate for a variety of energy efficiency measures, including heating, insulation, glazing and ventilation through the Guildford Housewarmers scheme.

You may be interested in having solar energy technology installed in your home.  See the Renewable energy installations pages for more information on our assistance schemes.
