Ask for energy-saving advice
The South Karelia Energy Advisory Service, operated by the Lappeenranta Regional Environmental Board, is involved in implementing a new energy advisory service coordinated by Motiva.
The National Energy Advisory service, coordinated by Motiva, can now be contacted via its Energy matters Facebook page. You can contact an expert energy advisor by sending a direct Facebook message and they will be able to assist you in any questions relating to energy use, heating systems, and switching to renewable energy sources. The service is free of charge.
The aim of the energy advisory service is to encourage and support Finns to consider sustainable consumption solutions, promote responsible energy use, and help people choose the most appropriate renewable energy practices. The energy advisors belong to a national advisory network providing local advice services in 12 municipalities. You can find information about the various advisory services and events via the Energy matters Facebook page.
