Both Mr. and Mrs. Tatoli were delighted with the work carried out and in particular the fact that the work was free of charge. “We were amazed to hear that the insulation was free, especially in this day and age,” said Mr. Tatoli. “It was also really useful hearing how Warm Zone has made such a difference to Esther’s home.”

Since installing cavity wall and loft insulation in Esther’s home in Felling, she has noticed that her house is warmer and that her energy bills have decreased. “Anyone who wants to stay warm this winter should contact Warm Zone to see how they can help them, especially as the work is free within Gateshead, South Tyneside and Newcastle,” she said. “It’s made a noticeable difference to me and I’m pleased that I was the first to benefit in the area.”

Warm Zones are a not for profit partnership with the local Council that provide free or heavily discounted energy saving improvements to help keep local homes warm. The Warm Zones are the only insulation scheme supported and endorsed by the Councils on Tyneside. As well as installing home insulation improvements, Gateshead Warm Zone has completed 50,000 home energy assessments, reduced CO2 emissions by around 13,000 tonnes per year and helped Gateshead residents claim £2.6 million in benefit entitlements.

Regional Director David Connor is delighted that Warm Zones are able to offer everyone within Gateshead, Newcastle, and South Tyneside cavity wall insulation free of charge, irrespective of their household income. “For the first time we are able to offer free cavity wall insulation to all homes. Many people may also qualify for free loft insulation, which can save hundreds of pounds on fuel bills every year” he said. “It’s not everyday that people get something for nothing but in this case I would urge anyone who wants to save on their fuel bills to give us a call immediately and we will do what we can to help them.”
