Patrick from Nottingham was often too cold to sleep at night and struggled with his energy bills. Green Doctor Mayita helped him to save £460 by switching tariff, and made his home more comfortable at the same time.

Half of 74-year-old Patrick's home doesn't get any sunlight, including his bedroom which was often cold and damp.

Patrick says: “I was freezing on winter nights, sometimes I couldn't sleep. As far as I knew, my options were having the heating on or off, and if it was on all night it would get too hot and cost a lot.

“Mayita helped me set up the timer, so the heating comes on when it needs to. Now I understand how to adjust it myself which is great, and I've saved so much money."

Do you need help? Our Green Doctors provide free advice on energy, damp, mould, and other related topics.

This is a fully funded charity service open to people of any age and income in the East Midlands, whether you own, rent, or are in social housing.
