Dear Sustainable
Hayfield Member/Supporter
JOIN YOUR
NEIGHBOURS - KEEP WARM & USE LESS ENERGY - FOR FREE!
Want to keep warm but save on your bills? Want to keep out draughts and be
more energy-efficient? Want
to do all this for free?
You can, just like more than 90 of your neighbours who’ve already signed up
to our Home Energy MOT scheme! We’ve now got some extra funding, meaning we
can extend the scheme and respond to requests from even more parish
households. Feedback to date is very positive. Here’s some examples;
“The visit was an
eye-opener in the sense that small adjustments can make a difference. The LED
lights were great as they’ve brightened the rooms – and are considerably
cheaper to run”
“I live alone and was
very impressed by the help given. The fitting of a letter box cover made an
immediate difference. The advice re keeping warm and saving energy was
superb”
“Many thanks, an
invaluable service”
“….the house feels
warmer, draughts have been reduced and my landlord has agreed to have loft
insulation fitted this week! Thank you!”
“Graham’s thorough
checks were reassuring, particularly the loft insulation as I can no longer
get up there. Helpful adjustment of boiler temperature. A very good service.”
“ Friendly face, good
advice, very helpful.”
The scheme offers a free service, involving a visit from a local, qualified,
experienced staff member from Marches Energy Agency who can
- install
draught-proofing tape and strips for draughty windows and doors;
- fit draught
excluders to the bottom of doors to stop seepage of heat;
- install
letter box covers to ensure warm air doesn’t escape;
- fit
LED long life, energy-efficient bulbs to replace older, short-life types;
- fit
electric socket timers, to ensure power’s only used when needed;
- fit
radiator reflector foil, ensuring all radiator heat warms your rooms;
- check
boiler controls and radiator valves, to ensure they’re set correctly;
- advise
on the adequacy of your loft insulation levels, and;
- discuss more
targetted help, if needed, but only if you agree. .
All of this happens – or as much or little of it as you want – in one visit!
And it’s all entirely free to you.
If you’d like a visit, do one of the following:
- contact Sustainable Hayfield’s Energy Group at shayfieldenergygroup@gmail.com,
with your contact details;
- pick up and complete the very simple request slip
which is at Hayfield News, The Village Store or Hayfield library, and
place in the secure boxes located there.
Once you’ve
requested a visit, we’ll get in contact and make arrangements. This is a unique, free
scheme, just for the parish, so don’t miss out!
Regards
The Sustainable Hayfield team
