In order to aid in helping you cut the costs of your fuel bills, the council's NI 187 Technician will visit your property to complete an Energy Assessment and then advise you of all the methods available to you (through various schemes or grants) which will make your property more energy efficient.
Please complete the questionnaire below (available in MS Word and PDF format). It should only take around 15 minutes to complete and will give us an idea of what we can do to help.
Once you have completed the questionnaire, please email it to energysurvey@sholland.gov.uk or post it to us. You will be contacted shortly afterwards in order for an inspection to be arranged if there are improvements that can be put in place that will save you money.
