Residents will be able to reduce the amount of energy they use and save money at the same time thanks to a pioneering new loan scheme from Bristol City Council.
The city’s library network has taken delivery of nearly 200 Energy Saving Monitors, which library users can take home and simply plug into a socket to find out how much energy they consume at home and which appliances are the biggest energy guzzlers. The scheme was launched on Friday 20th March. The monitors can be taken out for a free four-week loan period and renewed just like any library book.
Bristol City Council is also helping residents in other ways to improve their home’s energy efficiency. A subsidised loft insulation and cavity wall insulation scheme is available for privately owned properties, free to vulnerable households.
