Energy saving advice sessions
Come to an energy advice drop-in session
Hackney Energy Advice Team (HEAT) runs regular drop-in sessions to support residents who are experiencing financial difficulties. The team includes advisors from Hackney Light and Power and CREW Energy, and the project is funded by UK Power Networks.
Come along if you need help:
- changing your energy supplier to get a better deal
- applying for energy grants, discounts and vouchers
- finding out how to lower your energy usage and save money
There will also be free energy-saving kits you can pick up. These contain energy efficient bulbs, draft excluders and radiator reflectors.
If you need more support after the session, an advisor may arrange a phone call or home visit.
Session dates and times
The sessions are free and you do not need to book.

Come to an energy home improvement session
These are advice sessions for people who are considering installing solar panels, heat pumps, a more efficient boiler, insulation or other building management systems in their homes. You would have to pay for these home improvements yourself, but some grants may be available.
Session dates and times
The sessions are free. Booking in advance is recommended, especially if you have any accessibility needs.
We’ll publish the session dates as soon as they’re confirmed.
