The Government will start offering free advice on reducing energy consumption.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is launching an Energy Efficiency Scheme in a bid to help residents reduce their fuel bills and cut the use of fossil fuels.

A roadshow promoting the energy efficiency message will take place in the New Year.
