1970's style 'council house' conversion

Alvesta is pleased to announce a contract with Transform and North Devon Council to convert a typical 1970's style 'council house' into a modern 21st century house utilising a low temperature skirting radiator system from Italy called Climaboard, a thermal store and a heat pump mounted externally.

Temperature recordings have been made throughout the house beforehand for 3 months and will be made for 3-6 months afterwards.

The owner of the house was in fuel poverty before the conversion, spending over £1000 per annum on fuel and the house was still cold through the winter. This is the first recorded transformation of a council house from fuel poverty into affordable sustainable housing.
