FAQ

Common questions about our winter fuel solutions guidance.

Ask something else

Do you do repairs or installations?

No. We don’t carry out repairs or installations. We provide guidance so you can plan and speak to qualified professionals confidently.

We can suggest what to look for and what questions to ask, but we don’t take commissions or endorse specific providers.

We don’t make promises about savings. We focus on realistic steps that often improve comfort and help avoid avoidable issues.

Local notes for Birmingham

Practical considerations we often see in local enquiries.

  • For renters in areas like Jewellery Quarter or Harborne, keep photos/notes of damp and condensation to support maintenance requests.
  • If you’re in West Midlands, check loft access and insulation early in the season when installers are less booked.
  • In Birmingham, older housing stock can have drafts around windows and doors—small sealing improvements can improve comfort.
