Warm Homes: Local Grant - Lisa's story - Video and audio transcripts

Visual description: The video features a woman stood outside her house. Work can be seen going on behind her. Scaffolding has been erected and E.ON workers are working on it. Footage of solar panels being installed are interspersed. 

Text spoke by Lisa D - I went to an event down at Fargo Village that was about the area, and E.ON were there.

I went through the first steps with them, and every step has been really, really easy.

Well, I just thought it was too good an opportunity to miss, really, to have it installed.

I'd been thinking about solar panels for a while, but they were just out of my price range.

So when I saw that I could get a grant for it, it was fantastic. That's why I signed up.

I think with the weather getting warmer, global warming and everything, then why not try to utilise the sun for energy?

I know it won't be completely free for me, but we should use as much natural energy as we can.

Why wouldn't you take up something that's free?

There's a grant there for it.

Okay, there's a bit of upheaval around your home while it's being installed, but in the long term the benefits are going to be worth it.
