A
£200,000 project has got underway to install energy-saving devices in thousands
of homes across North Lincolnshire to help tenants save
on water and gas bills.
Landlords
at North Lincolnshire Homes estimate the savings per property could be as much
as £175 per year.
Work
started this month on distributing shower heads and timers in homes where a
Vokera Unica boiler has been installed.
Tenants
will also be offered an energy
efficiency guide, giving top tips on how to reduce utility bills as part of the
affordable warmth project.
Project
manager Tim Ball said: "We are committed to offering our tenants
affordable warmth and to try to improve the energy efficiency of homes. This is
helping to reduce the impact on both the environment and offering residents
innovative money-saving devices where possible.
"Over
the last six years we've installed high efficient A-rated appliances into 3,500
homes.
"It's
these tenants who will benefit initially, but we have plans to increase this in
the future though. When people require a new boiler fitting they will also be
able to take advantage of these products.
"After
research and a trial of the products over the past 18 months, we've seen real
savings can be achieved which is why we've decided to invest £200,000 in this
project."
