Reason(s) for contacting Green Homes Concierge Service: Concern for the environment, to check that renovations were energy efficient, to find alternative to PVC double-glazing for their windows.
“We don’t necessarily want to be the greenest ever,” said Sarah Chisholm, explaining her decision to call Green Homes Concierge Service, “We just see the point in being more energy efficient and wanted to check we’re going in the right direction.”
Sarah’s four-bed property received a full concierge appraisal, including an air-tightness test and thermal imaging survey, which identified a significant leakage of warm air in one specific part of the loft – an area which Sarah and her partner had only recently had insulated. The contractor seemed to have “missed a bit’”, a problem which was easily remedied by the Green Homes Concierge Service with a little extra lining.
The home report made recommendations for further alterations, the most significant of which has influenced the couple’s decision on new windows: “We wanted replacement windows but didn’t want UPVC,” said Sarah. “Green Homes Concierge Service helped us to get double-glazing but in an original style… and it was at a third of the price we had been previously quoted!”
So was Sarah happy with the Green Homes Concierge Service? Massively so – particularly with the depth of the report and how it was tailored to her tastes and means. “I have referred to the report repeatedly,” said Sarah. ”And I have recommended Green Homes Concierge Service to friends who are waiting for it to be rolled out nationally.”
Stats:
- Sarah’s home, even with her loft insulation, was judged to have been emitting 13 tonnes per year.
- If she were to act upon all our recommended measures she would reduce this figure by a massive 5.4 tonnes per year.
