LEAP, a complimentary service, is aiding individuals in staying warm and cutting down on their energy expenses without incurring any costs. LEAP maintains an extensive network of referral organisations that will direct individuals facing, or at risk of falling into, fuel poverty.
LEAP is open to private rented and social housing tenants as well as home owners.
Free LEAP Assessment
At Smart NRG, our surveyors can visit your property to conduct a free LEAP assessment, offering simple tips and advice to help reduce your energy consumption and save money on your energy bills. We can offer help and support with bill issues. Help with heating controls, Give advice on damp and mould problems. We can also help you access grants for Insulation and heating. Grants are also available for replacement white goods if residents meet the criteria set by LEAP. During winter we sometimes can assist vulnerable people with broken Gas boiler and are in a no heat situation, again this is criteria based. Heating tune up funding is also available in some properties, when system not functioning correctly, radiators might not be heating up properly, this may require a system clean or power flush, or maybe just need replacing, if the system does not have adequate heating control, this could be a good reason to apply for heating tune up funding.
Other services that can be accessed through onward referrals during a LEAP visit are:
- Benefit checking service and debt help.
- Water social tariffs.
- Hazard Referrals back to local councils/ Housing Associations and Private landlords.
- Fire Service referrals.
During a LEAP home visit assessment, we will also aim to install some simple FREE energy saving measures, such as, LEDs, Draft Proofing, Radiator Reflective Panels, Remote Control Standby Sockets, Chimney Balloons.
