On our Annual service in January 23 one of the boilers was condemned and the remaining boiler was unable to service both buildings due to its age and therefore we decided to completely replace our Heating system Total cost was Approx £45K with £30K coming from a legacy and our local circuit lending us the remaining monies. This was completed in June 2023 and we are already seeing the benefits of new boilers in reduced energy costs and warmer buildings.** ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
