Internal Home Energy Surveys

Cold Homes Energy Efficiency Survey ExpertsTo assist people in making their homes more energy efficient, CHEESE (Cold Homes Energy Efficiency Survey Experts) will be offering internal energy surveys to homeowners in the Bishopston, Cotham and Redland area during the winter months.

This will be done by thermal imaging and will highlight cold spots caused by draughts, poor  thermal insulation, etc. and will suggest remedial action.  A running-commentary on what is found is recorded along with the images and transferred to a CD or memory stick that the householder can use to plan a course of action.  The approximate cost will be £70.

For a small number of people who have difficulty with energy bills and would be deterred by the cost of a survey, BCR Energy Group have been awarded a grant by the Bishopston, Cotham and Redland Neighbourhood Partnership, from Bristol Green Capital funds, to offer free surveys.  This will be done on a “first come, first served” basis and the survey will have to be completed by the end of the year to qualify.  So if you are  a householder – or know anyone – in this situation, e.g. a pensioner or other person on a low income, living in a cold, draughty house, please email or pass this information on.
