Significant Switch
Stoke Flame, one of the UKs top leading premier fireplace centres, received a grant of £3,219 on their LED Lighting upgrade project. This lighting project cost £6,438, but this simple switch saved Stoke Flame an estimated £2,194 per year on their costs. With these savings they would be able to payback their project in at little as 2.9 years (or 1.5 years after the grant is taken into account!).
“We, at Stoke Flame, were delighted to be able to update the old lighting in the showroom and have more energy efficient lighting going forward.”

Wanting a grant, is one thing, but applying for one can be a bit of a task if you are unfamiliar with the process. In our previous grant funding scheme, we were able to guide Stoke Flame through it all, here is what they have to say:
