One resident, Kevin Thornton, whose home has received internal and external wall insulation through the programme, said: “The house is cooler in the warm weather and warmer when it is cold and it also looks top dog! The work has been finished a week and people who are just passing by comment on how nice my house looks.”
Jon Kimber, MD of British Gas New Energy, said: "Residents can expect a real transformation over the coming months. The partnership is investing substantially to improve homes in the area, installing an insulated cladding render which will give homes a fresh new appearance whilst also making them warmer. Coupled with the new gas heating systems being installed these improvements will make a real difference, making homes more energy efficient, more comfortable to live in and potentially lowering heating bills significantly.”
CESP is a £350 initiative which will see 90,000 homes across England, Wales and Scotland, such as these in Birmingham, receive whole house energy makeovers to save around £300 per year on fuel bills.
