Combat Winter

Households urged to act now for wintry conditions

We urge households to prepare for the colder months ahead as we can help save energy and money while remaining warm this winter.

With warnings of potential snowfalls in the coming weeks, the Power NI Combat Winter campaign is designed to provide customers with practical energy saving information, advice and tips to help reduce bills during the winter months. We are calling on homes to act early to receive details on a range of winter insulation grants that are designed to help tackle energy lost during the winter months.

 Aine Bloomer from Power NI said now was the time for households to prepare for cooler months and ensure they can save money on energy use. 

 “The simple fact is that most homes are not performing as well as they should be and as temperatures plummet, energy will be wasted and money lost. By acting now to check your needs and gear up for the colder snap, smart homeowners will avoid risking their warmth this winter.

 “Getting your house in order doesn’t have to cost the earth and there are a wide range of support options available from Power NI.  The Combat Winter campaign is about making sure homeowners and tenants are fully equipped to tackle the challenges of the colder months. We understand that people use more energy at this time of year, but small steps mean they won’t pay for more than is needed to make a home comfortable” said Aine.

 Included in the Combat Winter campaign is an easy-to-use online Home Energy Check service at www.powerni.co.uk/HEC that evaluates the design, energy needs and existing insulation of each home to generate practical and tailored tips that can slash energy bills.

 Households across Northern Ireland have also been reminded that boilers should be serviced annually to ensure they work efficiently and safely. A team of qualified Power NI engineers are equipped to deliver a thorough 15-point check up and repairs service, and also to provide the peace of mind with a service certificate. To mark the launch of Combat Winter, Power NI is offering customers a low-cost package that includes boiler servicing and a carbon monoxide monitor to help keep homes safe and cosy this winter.
