Would you like to cut household bills and keep your home warm for less? We aim to support people to maintain a warmer home, so they can experience the associated health benefits and reduce their energy bills, in particular over the winter period.
If you live in Fenland, Huntingdonshire, Cambridge City or East Cambs, PECT (working in partnership with Cambridgeshire ACRE) can help you with its Cambridgeshire Home Energy Support Service thanks to funding from the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme.

What we want to achieve
What support is available?
Our energy advice service provides households with the information and resources needed to stay warm and healthy, whilst cutting costs and carbon.
This service is vital, because NHS advice suggests that when the weather drops below 8C, some people are at increased risk of physical and mental health conditions; such as heart attack, stroke, pneumonia and depression. There is substantial evidence of the detrimental impact of fuel poverty on the physical and mental health of residents.
The service aims to offer help and advice on behavioural changes, choosing the best energy tariff and supplier, managing your water bills, and where eligible can assist you to access the national £150 Warm Homes Discount and other funding opportunities.
