14. It works! Quite remarkable – I could feel the warmth improve in each room as the engineers installed it Sheila Osborne, Trewiddle Park Having used hardly any gas over the last 3 months I’m convinced the initial outlay will soon be recouped in fuel savings Sue King, Dunton Park We have been through our first winter after this insulation was done -there has been a vast improvement in the warmth in the house; we did not have to sit with knee rugs once and in fact we kicked our slippers off occasionally!
