Brentwood schemes

If your home was cold last winter and you struggled to pay your bills, you might be eligible for a Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2). HUG2 is a Government grant scheme to fund energy-saving upgrades for residents with off-grid gas heating systems who are most likely to be impacted by the high cost of energy bills.

This could help you to use less energy, reduce your carbon footprint and spend less on your energy bills.

Warm Homes Essex is a general service provided by the Citizens Advice service in Essex. It provides holistic energy advice to support people who are struggling with their energy bills. Specialist energy advisers, provide detailed, in depth guidance on all of the other schemes described in this website, plus support their clients to maximise their income, deal with energy and other debt problems, apply for grants, deal with problems with energy suppliers and help people switch suppliers. In addition, through actual and "virtual home visits", advisers can give practical advice around the house, to ensure that clients can cut their bills.
