The Energy Efficiency Advice Centre (EEAC) provides free and impartial advice to households on reducing energy use and carbon emissions. It was set up by the Energy Saving Trust to help the UK meet targets of reducing CO2 emissions by 20% by 2010 and 60% by 2050. Simple and low-cost energy efficiency measures like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and installing a condensing boiler can save households over £500 per year while also helping to address issues of rising energy consumption, climate change, and health problems from cold homes.
