New boiler helps


save you money Competition win was just the tonic for Natasha


C


OMPETITION winner Natasha Buchmann is feeling cosy at home after winning a brand new boiler, thanks to our friends at Saltire. Natasha entered our competition in the July issue of YourPlace Matters. Her boiler was on its last legs and she had looked into getting a new one but the cost meant she hadn’t been able to afford it just yet. Natasha was in hospital when she got the call to say she was the winner - and she was so shocked she thought it was a wind up! She said: “I was so surprised to find out I had won the competition. The new boiler has made a huge difference already. My home is so much warmer and it’s already saving me money as it’s more energy-efficient. “The team from Saltire installed the boiler really quickly and the guys tidied up and didn’t leave any mess. I can’t thank them enough. My home will be nice and cosy this winter!” So if you’re worried about what you


would do if your boiler broke down during the winter, don’t panic. Our partners at Saltire can offer competitively-priced boiler and
