I have nothing but praise for the advice Cold to Cosy Homes provided.

Irene, Barrow in Furness

The advisor Amy was wonderful and she walked us through everything needed, she really went out of her way to make us at ease and happy with the home visit and certainly in regard to saving energy! A really, really knowledgeable person. Thank you very much for the help and guidance Cosy Homes.

Aaron, Carlisle

Cold to Cosy Homes is the best thing to happen to me this year. They did what they said they would – ring me back, send me lightbulbs and a standby plug and radiator panels and it’s made a difference.

Mr J Bell, Workington
