In July 2025, Warmer Energy Solutions completed a full home upgrade for the Frederick family of Blaenau Ffestiniog. With the property lacking a central heating system and relying solely on a gas fire in the living room, electric space heaters and an electric shower for hot water, the home was often cold, difficult to heat and expensive to run.
Through a fully funded Government-backed grant, available to both homeowners and landlords across he UK, Warmer was able to design and deliver a complete whole-house heating and insulation upgrade, significantly improving comfort, safety and energy performance.
The technical survey identified that the property had no existing heating system beyond a single gas fire, with all other rooms left without adequate warmth, an issue that can quickly lead to cold, damp living conditions, especially in stone-built properties common to the area. The household’s full heat demand and room-by-room requirements were calculated using PAS-compliant methods, enabling Warmer to design a new heating system tailored to the home and resident’s needs.
The installation included:
This represented the home’s first ever whole-house central heating system, dramatically improving living conditions for the family.
To minimise heat loss and help the new heating system to work efficiently, Warmer also delivered a package of insulation and ventilation upgrades, including:
These measures work together to create a warmer, healthier home environment.
As part of the grant process, the family were also eligible for a fully funded air source heat pump (ASHP). However, in this particular property, an ASHP would have required the installation of either internal or external wall insulation to work efficiently and effectively.
This level of additional work, especially the disruption associated with internal wall insulation, was considered excessive by the family. After discussing the options with our technical team, they elected for a high-efficiency gas heating system instead.
This choice-first, transparent approach is central to Warmer’s ways of working. We guide, we advise, and the customer decides what is right for their home.
Our tenant-first delivery model was central throughout the project. With four people living in the home, scheduling, communication and minimising disruption were essential. The family were provided with:
All workmanship is backed by Warmer’s installation warranty, offering long-term reassurance for the homeowner.
All the works were installed at zero cost to the homeowner, made possible through Government-backed energy-efficiency grants that support both homeowners and landlords to upgrade cold, inefficient homes.
These schemes help households to improve warmth and comfort, reduce long-term running costs, lower the risk of condensation, damp and mould in their home, and increase their homes EPC rating.
Warmer handled the entire process, from eligibility checks through to design, installation and compliance, making the experience simple, stress-free and supportive for the family.
Today, the Fredericks live in a home that is warmer, healthier and far more comfortable. With high-quality central heating, improved insulation and better ventilation, the property now offers the stability and comfort that every family deserves.
