Struggling with rising energy bills, cold rooms or damp? Frome’s Healthy Homes team offers free, friendly advice tailored to your home, whether you’re curious about low-carbon heating, need help with insulation, or want to understand your bills better.

Drop-in sessions with trained advisers:

• Frome Medical Practice – 12 - 4 pm – first Wednesday of every month
• The Pantry, Elliot Building – 2 - 4.30 pm – first Tuesday of every month

Or, let us come to you. Our trusted team of volunteers and energy champions can visit your home to offer personalised guidance. Helping you understand your heating controls, tackle cold spots, and even install simple energy-saving tools like draught excluders or radiator panels, thermal curtains, hot water tank jackets - all free, funded by FRECo.

If you're eligible, we can point you towards grants, energy-saving schemes, or support with energy debt. Because everyone deserves a warm, healthy and affordable home.

Solar and Beyond

Interested in solar panels? Generating your own clean electricity can help lower your bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and protect against rising energy prices. It might even boost your home’s value.

Start by checking your solar potential using tools like Solar Wizard or Go Renewable. Look at when you use electricity - if it’s mostly in the evenings, battery storage could help you make the most of your solar energy.

Need a trusted local installer? Or just want to talk through your options? We’re here to help - drop us a line at renewables@frometowncouncil.gov.uk.
