8 years in a joint venture to improve the warmth and energy efficiency of properties within the Sandwell Borough. It offers eligible homeowners
a range of free services including new central heating systems, cavity wall and loft insulation, boiler replacement, Warm Front top-up grants and solar water heating.
Earlier this summer Brian Chatwin of Bromford Lane became the 21st Greets Green resident to have central heating and solar panels installed.
“I'm really pleased with how well the panels are heating my water so far," he said, "but I also wanted to do my bit to be green. I told my next door but one neighbour how good it is and he's now having them installed too.”

“When you're a pensioner you don't have a lot of spare cash, anything that keeps costs down is a bonus," he said, "I've lived in Bromford Lane and Cambridge Street for about 70 years now and getting solar water heating is something I'd never have dreamt of in the past.”
It is estimated that solar water heating has cut
the cost of their water heating bills by up to 45%.
Cathy Kirby from Sandwell Warm Zone said: “Seeing Greets Green residents taking up the sustainable warmth measures on offer is wonderful. This has always been a very helpful project but it is more important than ever with the seemingly ever-increasing cost of fuel. It's a wonderful opportunity for people in Greets Green to reduce their water heating bills even further.”
