Andrew
Andrew replaced his electric boiler with a modern air source heat pump with the Warmer Homes scheme funded by the government.
With this simple change, Andrew now saves £300 a month on his energy bills, which frees up money to spend on himself and his family.
Nancy
Nancy didn’t think she would qualify for our energy-saving grants. However, once she began feeling the cold in her home, she visited the Warmer Homes website.
After applying, Nancy discovered she qualified for loft insulation, solar panels, window ventilation, and fans, to keep the condensation to a minimum.
Pete
Pete had an air source heat pump installed and old electric heaters removed and replaced with radiators through the Warmer Homes programme.
“I never bothered using electric heaters before as they didn’t heat my home properly and were too expensive to run. Since having my air source heat pump installed, last winter was the most comfortable I’ve been during the colder periods. My home is now warm, and only costs around £2-3 a day to have the heating on constantly so I could keep it at a comfortable temperature. The heating also dramatically reduced the amount of mould that grew which was a huge bonus.
The application was for warmer homes was really easy, the installer did most of the work, so I didn’t need to provide much. I’m really happy with the outcome and recommend others make use of this scheme.”
Steve
Steve had an air source heat pump and loft insulation installed using the Warmer Homes programme.
“The process was very easy and was a lot quicker than I expected. Submitting my application was easy and straight forward. It was nice to have a responsive installer who answered all my questions and got back to me quickly.
Everything was left clean and tidy with all work being completed to a high standard. I can feel a big difference in my home, it stays warmer for longer and takes less time to heat up. Everything works well and the installers showed me how to operate the system effectively.
I have had a great experience with this scheme and would highly recommend others apply. I have even recommended to friends, family and neighbours already.”
