Couple rapt with insulation win


John Chambers and Ofelia Suarez- Chambers with part of their winnings from the Council’s energy home.An Addington couple has won a supply of insulation materials in the second draw at the Christchurch City Council’s energy efficiency show home.

Mrs Ofelia Suarez- Chambers went to the Leander Street house in Papanui in July seeking advice from a Christchurch City Council energy adviser on better ways to heat her home — and later she won, with husband John, $500 worth of insulation products.

This is the second draw of home insulation prizes for visitors at the show home. The third draw is scheduled for September- October.

Mrs Suarez- Chambers says their 1940- weatherboard house was cold and they could not afford to heat more than one room at once. They are pensioners on a limited income and expect the insulation will make all the difference. “And we got some invaluable advise, too,” she said.
