On 15th of April 2011 Therma Rise were delighted to show Prime Minister David Cameron MP around Tackley village hall in Oxfordshire. The project, funded by British Gas’s Green Street Programme, involved Therma Rise designing and installing a 16kW ground source heat pump system (the first under the scheme) and fan convector units to replace the existing electric heaters.
Prime Minister David Cameron said:
“This is the Big Society in action. I have been supporting this project from the beginning and it’s great to see the people of Tackley and British Gas working hard and getting results, which are cutting energy bills and generating clean, green energy.”
Joe Hodgkin, Managing Director of Therma Rise, said:
“It is fantastic to see the local community embrace renewable technologies and change their energy use behaviour. Solar and heat pump systems can drastically reduce fuel bills and pay for themselves in a few short years.”
Look out for our case study of Tackley to be published soon.
