“The system is saving at least a third on energy bills, helping drastically to maintain a warm and comfortable home. I am very pleased and impressed with the work and the egnida boys on site who were always polite and courteous.”
Mrs Edmunds
“I have a pre-payment meter so I am able to monitor the electricity and these changes are helping to cut my costs. The mould that I had experienced in the kitchen has gone since the insulation was fitted. I am very pleased with the work and also the egnida men on site, who were always polite and courteous.”
Mrs Greenhaf
“I can already see the savings on my energy bills, and these changes are helping to keep my home warm. egnida built a fantastic wall as my original had to be taken down to accommodate the drilling equipment. The egnida team were very considerate of our feelings and drilled a borehole in a position that did not affect the grave of our pet.”
