K & M – Dae Ye Ken?
Wednesday 10 February 14.00 – 17.00 HOME ENERGY SCOTLAND Electric Heating Training
Many people with electric heating systems find it difficult keeping their home warm and comfortable. Systems can be tricky to use, plus the metering and tariffs can make it harder to switch to a cheaper tariff.
If your organisation give advice about energy and billing, you’ll know how important, and challenging, helping people with electric heating can be.
You don’t need a technical background, but an awareness of how householders interact with the energy market will be helpful. Contact Diane or Alex to register for your free place and let’s work together to help people with electric heating get the best out of their system.
