Overview:

This scheme played a key part in Nottinghamshire County Council’s 2023 Cost of Living campaign. It introduced households within Nottinghamshire to a quick way of saving money on their gas bill quickly and easily at a time when money was tight.

It encouraged households with a combi-boiler to reduce the flow temperature to a minimum of 60°C. This enables the boiler to go into condensing mode and therefore operate more efficiently as less gas is required to heat the water. 

Our role:

Marketing: NEP marketed the scheme via an online project page which featured the a step by step leaflet guide and video. A social media campaign ran throughout the project’s duration, it was advertised in local magazines and featured on BBC East Midland’s Today.

Home Visits: NEP were also commissioned to carry out home visits to vulnerable individuals who wanted support in adjusting their boiler - they visited 287 properties.

Partners: NEP, Nesta and Nottinghamshire County Council

Funded by: Nottinghamshire County Council (£150,000)
