Utility Aid
We use our collective strength to champion the causes that matter most, including the wellbeing of residents and the sustainability of social housing.
At Utility Aid, we understand that behind every energy bill is a housing association striving to provide safe, affordable, and efficient homes.
With nearly three decades of experience supporting the public and not-for-profit sectors, we know trust is earned through competence and strengthened by consistently delivering real, measurable outcomes.
How can we help you?
Benefits
As a member of Community Housing Cymru, you can benefit from a free consultancy session with Utility Aid, whether you need support with understanding your bills, checking whether you are paying the correct VAT or if you need advice on starting your journey to Net Zero.
Utility Aid helps the charity and not-for-profit sector keep energy costs down, reclaiming overcharges, managing administration and advising on all energy-related matters.
