Get support from the Havering Energy Doctors
Age UK Redbridge, Barking & Havering run a free service for Havering residents aged 18+ to make their homes more energy efficient.
You can get a free home visit from an Energy Expert to assess your home's energy efficiency and give you advice on how to use energy more effectively.
