External wall insulation and a new combi boiler made Teresa바카라 사이트™s home more energy efficient
How the Nottingham Energy Partnership made Teresa바카라 사이트™s home more energy efficient.
Before home improvements were made to her privately owned 3-bed property in the Nottingham area of Aspley, Teresa suffered from drafts coming through her windows, and the house lost heat through the brick walls. The house was very cold even with the heating on as the old boiler didn바카라 사이트™t work properly, 바카라 사이트˜All the parts were mucky, it didn바카라 사이트™t fire up, the pump was broken and the overflow pipe was pumping hot water outside.바카라 사이트™
Teresa sought to get her old leaking boiler replaced, however she was unable to because of the cost, 바카라 사이트˜I바카라 사이트™d had some quotes for new boilers and they were coming in at £2,500, which was more than we could afford.바카라 사이트™
Teresa lived with her boiler problems for just over 5 years before she was put in contact with the Aspley Super Warm Zone Scheme, through the Nottingham Energy Partnership.
After the initial Green deal Assessment took place, Teresa바카라 사이트™s house was fully qualified for an energy-saving upgrade. 바카라 사이트˜The scheme came just at the right time. They put the external wall insulation on the house, which has really smartened up its appearance, and then installed a combi boiler with a timer and two new radiators that have independent controls.바카라 사이트™
Whilst the works took place, there were hardly any disruptions as all the walls were insulated externally. 바카라 사이트˜They were a lovely bunch of builders who left my home looking neater and cleaner on the outside; almost like new.바카라 사이트™
Previously, Teresa바카라 사이트™s boiler was firing up all day long and sometimes the radiators weren바카라 사이트™t even getting hot. Now with the new radiators installed, they can be set to a lower level and the boiler is set on a timer so it바카라 사이트™s only on for a few hours in the day and not at all in the evening.
Adding to this, Teresa now enjoys constant hot water, 바카라 사이트˜The new boiler is great. I바카라 사이트™ve got constant hot water as soon as I turn the tap on and the heating is really hot, too.바카라 사이트™
Overall, Teresa found it a 바카라 사이트˜fantastic deal바카라 사이트™ and loves that her home looks and feels so much more inviting.
