Energy and Climate Change

Energy Efficiency Advice Centre

High Peak Borough Council hosts the Energy Efficiency Advice Centre. The centre aims to provide free and impartial energy advice to the people of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. It is funded by the Energy Saving Trust (External website**). The Council works in partnership with 19 local authorities in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

The Energy Efficiency Advice Centre is based next to Buxton Town Hall. Call the centre on 0800 512 012  from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, for free, independent, impartial, local and expert advice about making your home more energy efficient. Being experts in energy efficiency, our advisers will be able to guide you through which energy saving measures are most suitable for your home.

Our experts:

• Are the only advice service which can provide impartial information on home energy efficiency, due to our status as an independent, not for profit organisation;
• Have a good knowledge of your area and understand the local housing stock, for example, they can help you find out whether or not your house has cavity walls;
• Can advise and refer you to any grants and offers (see below) that may be available to help towards the costs of installing measures;
• Have experience of helping people to take effective energy saving actions from the start of the process to the end;
• Can visit your community groups to give talks and workshops on energy saving.
