Joseph Slone:  Free loft insulation and Warm Front A rated boiler (NottWZ)

“We’re both really grateful for all the support, the extra warmth is really noticeable, not only to us but to our grand children as well”. 

Background
Joseph Slone, a pensioner from the Meadows, has a number of ailments, all of which cause him more grief when he is cold at home. Mrs Slone saw a NottWZ advert in the Nottingham Arrow, this prompted her husband to make the call.

Measures
The loft contained no insulation. This coupled with an old, unreliable boiler meant the house was overdue for an energy efficiency revamp.  Miller Patterson, one of NottWZ’s accredited contractors installed 10” of loft insulation.  The new ‘A’ rated boiler and central heating system were fitted by Warm Front.

Benefits
The Slones are no longer losing up to 15% of household heat through the roof, meaning more of their heat is kept inside.  Their new central heating system ensures they are able to regulate their heating when the temperature drops, meaning less energy and money is wasted.

Costs
The Slones are over the age of 65 and in receipt of qualifying Warm Front benefits, which means all works were completely free.

Money Saved
Savings of up to £160 worth of energy per year due to the insulation. The energy efficient boiler and heating system is saving the couple up to a further £260 per year.
