Energy Projects Plus is delighted to continue our close, long-term partnership with Wirral Council, through the delivery of the Wirral Fuel Poverty Advice Service. This contract runs from October 2025 to October 2028, and is delivered by Energy Projects Plus for Wirral Council’s Public Health team.
Beginning with the Wirral Free Insulation Programme in 2009, which insulated over 18,000 homes, we’ve used the “Warmer Wirral” branding for our activities that help Wirral residents to avoid/escape fuel poverty, and make their homes more energy efficient, leading to warmer homes that are cheaper to run. This service can be vital to ensure residents with chronic health conditions made worse by cold aren’t living in homes that are worsening their health.
What are we delivering?
We provide free, energy efficiency advice and support through these primary channels:
| Telephone | Residents can call our Save Energy Advice Line free on 0800 043 0151, or by email at advice@epplus.org, or by completing a self-referral form available on our contact us page. Our team of friendly, qualified Energy Advisors will happily answer any questions about household energy efficiency. |
| In-home | Households on a low income, or living within an area of deprivation, or with any kind of vulnerability to living in cold conditions, might benefit from follow-on advice and support within their homes. |
| Outreach | We’re routinely out and about, engaging with residents in their local community settings. We’re happy to set up a pop-up energy advice drop-in stall in most well-utilised public venues. We’re particularly keen to deliver these sessions within areas of deprivation, or within health centres. You can invite us to attend your event, or deliver a talk to your community group, by emailing events@epplus.org |
