Home Energy – New app to help you save money on your energy bills
The Council has teamed up with the Energy Saving Trust to bring you an app that will give you advice on how to use less energy in your home and save money. The app, which is available to download from both Apple and Android app stores (search CWAC Energy Advice Tool), takes you on a journey of a typical home and asks you some simple questions relating to electrical items within that room. Based on your answers it will provide you with the potential financial savings you could make, if you follow the simple changes it suggests.
