If you live in a property and pay rent to a landlord then you are probably a private tenant. Typically private tenants will pay rent on a monthly or weekly basis and may be required to pay an annual service charge and/or ground rent if the property is a leasehold.
Portsmouth City Council works closely with the Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP for short) to offer eligible residents a completely FREE energy and money saving service.
Eligible Portsmouth, Gosport and Havant residents are being offered free gas central heating systems and installation as part of a new Portsmouth City Council initiative.
Did you know that your water use at home contributes to your energy bill?
Changing the way you use water can reduce your energy usage significantly and reduce your bills.
Your landlord must ensure that your property meets the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard, or MEES for short. It’s the law.

“I’m so happy with my new heating system, the installers have worked miracles. I can’t tell you enough how brilliant the whole process was, they were lovely people. I’d give the scheme 15 out of 10” – Cynthia
