Homes from hemp: a more sustainable...Right now, people across Suffolk are living in homes that are not well-equipped to keep the heat they generate inside. This means that people are either living in a cold home over winter or spending too much money on heating that is escaping through their windows, roofs, doors and walls.
newsEvery degree of heating generated also has an impact on the environment. That’s why we’ve been helping Suffolk residents to understand how energy efficient their homes are and how they can make them even more efficient, and in turn, keep their families warm and lower their energy bills.
Since November 2024, we’ve been encouraging all homeowners and landlords in Suffolk to apply for an energy efficiency assessment. These assessments are usually £350 but, thanks to Suffolk’s Public Sector Leaders, are free for homes under 98m² and just £30 for bigger properties.


So far, over 460 assessments have been completed across the county. Though there is no obligation to implement any of the recommended energy efficiency measures, about a third of homeowners proceed with installations. These measures are estimated to save homeowners an average of £710 on their energy bills every year. They’ll also save a total of 143,890 kg of carbon dioxide emissions from being released every year.
Most of the measures installed so far have been solar panel systems, loft insulation and air source heat pumps but there are lots of ways that homeowners can make their homes more energy efficient. And what better way to find out which measures will work for your home and exactly how much money they could save you than by getting a free, personalised, professional assessment?
There are less than 175 assessments left to snap up, and the scheme will close in May so book yours now!
