New energy schemes for Surrey residents

Surrey County Council is working with iChoosr, their trusted partner for Solar Together, to offer two new schemes to Surrey residents:

  • Switch Together – heat pump group buying
  • Big Community Switch – energy tariff group buying

Switch Together: heat pump scheme

Switch Together helps homeowners upgrade to air-source heat pumps. By joining a group, residents can access trusted installers and benefit from lower prices.

What you get

  • All installers are vetted and experienced.
  • Lower costs: group buying means better prices than going it alone.
  • Eco-friendly heating: heat pumps use electricity efficiently and reduce carbon emissions.
  • Personalised offer: get a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your home.

How it works

  1. Register online at the Switch Together website.
    Registration is open until 31 October 2025.
  2. Get your offer: you’ll receive an estimate by email, including group discounts and any government grants.
  3. Installer bidding: trusted installers compete to offer you the best value.
  4. Install your heat pump: enjoy efficient, low-carbon heating and year-round comfort.

Why choose a heat pump?

  • Uses less energy than a traditional boiler.
  • Helps lower your energy bills over time.
  • Reduces your carbon footprint.
  • Provides reliable heating and better control of your home’s temperature.

Who can join?

You can take part if you:

  • live in Surrey.
  • own your home.
  • want to switch to a more efficient heating system.

Government support

You may be eligible for up to £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which helps cover installation costs.

Ready to switch?

Register now for your free personalised offer and take the first step towards a warmer, greener home.

 

Big Community Switch: energy tariff scheme

Take part in the Big Community Switch to see if you can save money on your energy bills. It’s a free and easy way to explore better energy tariffs.

Many households in Surrey are finding it hard to manage rising energy costs. Switching to a cheaper deal can help, but the process can be confusing and time-consuming.

The Big Community Switch makes it simple. By joining as a group, residents can access competitive offers from trusted suppliers, including options for 100% renewable energy.

How it works

  1. Register for free before 31 October 2025.
  2. Suppliers compete to offer the best deal to the group.
  3. Receive your personal offer by email.
  4. Decide if you want to switch. There’s no obligation.

Why join?

  • Get access to competitive energy tariffs.
  • Choose 100% renewable energy if you wish.
  • Save time and avoid the hassle of switching alone.
  • Registration is free and there’s no pressure to accept the offer.
