⭐ Manchester Resident Success Stories
Sarah Johnson
Chorlton, Manchester M13
"My Victorian terrace was costing me over £200/month to heat. After getting my free ECO4 boiler, my bills dropped to £120/month. The Gas Safe engineers were fantastic - installation took just one day and they cleaned up perfectly."
Mohammed Ali
Stockport, Greater Manchester SK3
"Applied online on a Tuesday, had my survey on Friday, and new boiler installed 2 weeks later. My old back boiler was from the 1980s and constantly breaking down. Now I have reliable heating and huge savings."
Linda Roberts
