South Gloucestershire Council is hoping to enable residents to save money on their energy bills this winter by loaning out thermal imaging cameras to help identify areas of heat loss in their homes.
The scheme, available to South Gloucestershire library members, allows residents to borrow a thermal imaging camera from one of the region’s libraries for up to a week. The cameras are being supplied in partnership with Warm and Well, a service run by local charity Severn Wye that provides energy advice and advocacy as well as administering grant funding for fuel efficiency improvements.
Jacqui Harris, Project Manager at Severn Wye, said: “We’re really pleased to be supporting this scheme, which offers something different to lots of the energy efficiency support currently available. Using a thermal imaging camera will give residents an insight into how they can make their homes more energy efficient, but it will also empower them to look deeper into how they can make energy changes at home and hopefully get back a feeling of control during this energy crisis.”
