Home owners and local businesses can get a free energy survey aimed at reducing their fuel bills and improving energy efficiency, thanks to a new project from the Wise Group in conjunction with  Clackmannanshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire Councils.

The Wise About Energy project offers expert advice and support that is specifically tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of home owners and businesses.
