Mid Devon Energy Boost: free support to help you stay warm and reduce your bills 

Mid Devon Energy Boost is a new programme offering free, trusted advice and practical support to help Mid Devon residents stay warm, reduce energy bills and make their homes healthier and more comfortable. 

We can help residents find ways to reduce their energy bills by improving the energy efficiency of their home. For homeowners looking to upgrade their home to make it more sustainable, we can provide free retrofit advice.

The programme builds on the success of our pilot project last year, also enabled by Mid Devon District Council. The service is delivered by ECOE Advice, an award‑winning local charity that has been supporting people across Mid Devon for more than seven years. Our team provides free, impartial energy advice and has helped thousands of households cut their bills, improve comfort and tackle issues like damp, mould and cold homes.  

What the programme offers 

1. Retrofit Advice Service 

For residents thinking about improving their home energy efficiency, whether that’s insulation, heating upgrades or renewable energy, we offer step‑by‑step guidance. We help you understand what’s right for your property and explore cost‑effective options. We can also offer additional discounted services such as EPCs, air tightness testing, boroscopes and thermal imaging cameras. Our aim is to make retrofit simple, clear and achievable for every household, giving you knowledge and confidence to take the next steps.

2. Healthy Homes for Wellbeing 

This strand provides free, independent home energy advice for residents across Mid Devon. Our advisors can help you understand your energy use, explore simple ways to reduce your bills, access grants and funding for home improvements and find out what support is available locally. We offer home visits to help you understand your heating system, identify where heat is being lost, fit small energy‑saving measures and support you to access funding for larger improvements. Every visit ends with clear, personalised recommendations focused on what will make the biggest difference for you. We also run community outreach sessions across the district, making it easy to drop in, ask questions and get support in person. Healthy Homes for Wellbeing is open to all residents, regardless of whether you own your home or live in social or rented housing.

Who should get in touch 

Homeowners and private tenants can benefit from Energy Boost Mid Devon. If this sounds like you, or someone you support, we’d love to hear from you.
