Our advisors helped Mumta make energy improvements to her home, reducing her gas usage and her electricity bills by a third.

Mumta* from Manchester, who is vulnerable due to numerous health conditions, contacted Take Charge to discuss how to reduce her energy use and keep her home warm.

Our advisors helped Mumta apply for an Eco Flex grant to make energy improvements to her home. The Eco Flex team completed a full review of Mumta’s property and installed improvements worth over £20,000.

This included:

  • Cavity wall insulation
  • Solar panels
  • Hybrid air source heat pump
  • Two energy efficient radiators
  • Window ventilation
  • Bathroom wall vent

Thanks to these improvements, Mumta has significantly reduced her gas usage, going from being in debit to being credit. Mumta’s solar panels have reduced her electricity bills by a third. The grant scheme has made a big positive impact on Mumta’s wellbeing.
