Many heritage properties in Lewes lose a lot of heat through their walls, ceilings, and windows. Not only can this push up bills and compromise health, it accelerates climate change as well.

Brighton & Hove Energy Services Co-operative (BHESCo), a Brighton based community energy co-operative, is an award winning social enterprise working with homeowners and businesses to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. While reducing heat loss and energy bills it also significantly benefits our natural environment.

BHESCo offers a unique ‘Pay As You Save’ loan giving homeowners the opportunity to make improvements without cash outlay, a scheme that is already working for many properties across Sussex. BHESCo also manages the whole process from start to finish, so there’s no hassle for you. And they’ll take on the technical and financial risk, giving you peace of mind while you take more control over your energy supply.

Typical energy saving measures include LED lighting, loft and wall insulation, heating systems and double-glazed windows. You can even get help with solar panels and wood burners, perhaps something you’ve always wanted.

Improving energy savings in your home can enhance quality of life and increase property value. What’s more, you can take comfort in knowing you’re taking action to avoid climate change.

BHESCo is part of Community Energy South with local Lewes Energy company OVESCo.

Chris Rowland from OVESCO says: ‘BHESCO has successfully helped residents in Brighton and Hove reduce their energy bills, so we invited them to meet TTL to offer their services in the Lewes District. OVESCO continues to work on electricity and heat generation projects in the Lewes District and across East Sussex. So by working collaboratively we can offer a wider range of service. With BHESCO’s help the residents in the Lewes District can now pay for a service to help them reduce home bills’.
