Weather presenter Sian Lloyd warms up Cardiff residents with the Home Heat Helpline

Welsh weather presenter Sian Lloyd invited shoppers in Cardiffs Queens Arcade into her living room, to chat about how they can save money on their energy bills after weeks of chilly weather.

Sian was in Cardiff to talk about the Home Heat Helpline (0800 33 66 99), a free service funded by Britains major energy suppliers to help customers who are worried about their energy bills. The service aims to give people on low incomes access to free home insulation and reduced or social tariffs.

Recent research showed 23,300 households in Cardiff could save around £150 a year on their heating bills by insulating their lofts and another £115 a year with cavity wall insulation.

The research, commissioned by the Home Heat Helpline, revealed more than 250,000 vulnerable households are eligible for assistance through the Helpline across Wales, including 23,900 in Rhondda Cynon Taff and 17,500 in the Caerphilly borough.
