Helping households. Cutting carbon. Supporting Sustainability.
Across the UK, communities are facing a clear challenge: rising energy bills, draughty homes, and an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. HEART (Home Energy Advice and Retrofit Team) is playing a vital role in tackling this — one sustainable home upgrade at a time.
By offering no-pressure home energy assessments to eligible residents, HEART is helping your area move towards its sustainability goals. But the service doesn’t stop at advice. It leads to real, practical action.
Supporting Residents with Energy-Saving Upgrades
HEART works directly with households in Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and surrounding areas. Their team of trained assessors visits homes to carry out a full energy assessment—checking insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and more.
After the visit, residents receive a tailored report with clear, easy-to-follow recommendations. In many cases, HEART can also arrange free or grant-funded upgrades, including:
- Heating system upgrades
- Solar PV installations
- Draught-proofing and ventilation improvements
- Low-energy lighting
- Smoke alarms and CO detectors
- Insulation
This practical, boots-on-the-ground approach is not only improving household comfort—it’s reducing energy consumption and lowering carbon emissions at scale.
Cutting Carbon in Line with Local Government Goals
Your local government’s wider environmental strategy focuses on cleaner air, reduced emissions, and energy-efficient housing. HEART’s retrofit-first approach supports all three.
By helping homes become more energy-efficient, HEART is:
- Reducing local demand on the grid
- Supporting the shift to low-carbon heating
- Helping households cut fuel bills and emissions
- Preventing cold-related illnesses that burden local NHS services
These outcomes directly align with your area’s Local Energy Strategy and the broader UK Net Zero goals. Every home that’s made warmer and more efficient brings the region one step closer to long-term sustainability.
No Gimmicks. Just Support.
What sets HEART apart is its community-led, not-for-profit approach. The team isn’t there to sell. They’re there to listen, support, and advise — without pressure or obligation. That makes HEART a trusted partner for local authorities, housing associations, and residents alike.
