There are many ways you can save energy at home. Domestic energy is one of the major sources of carbon emissions in our District.
Warm Homes
You could get free energy saving improvements made to your home if you’re on a low income or getting certain benefits.
Thermal imaging camera
Our thermal imaging camera can be loaned to residents for free.
The camera detects heat energy and can show you where energy is escaping from walls, roofs, windows and doors and other places in your home.
To request the camera, read and sign our loan agreement form. Please email your completed form to psh@sevenoaks.gov.uk or post it to: Private Sector Housing, Sevenoaks District Council, Council Offices, Argyle Road, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 1HG.
Please note, it is a very popular service and there is currently a waiting list.
Old or listed buildings
If you live in an old building, including listed buildings and those in conservation areas, you can still make your home more energy efficient. Visit the Historic England website to find out more.
