When Darren Bairstow of LMB Mechanical Services, found out he had won an OSO Hotwater cylinder in a recent Twitter competition, he decided to donate it to plumbing charity, Heroes of Heat.
Darren scooped the top prize of a Delta Coil DC cylinder in June, and decided to offer it to the Heroes of Heat to use in one of its forthcoming schemes.
Heroes of Heat aims to reduce the impact of fuel poverty and is manned nationwide by volunteers from across the heating industry, carrying out projects in their own time. As the Delta is reportedly the only indirect cylinder to be A-rated from 120litres right through to 300litres, it will be able to have a positive impact on the efficiency of the project.
Darren commented: “I decided to donate the prize to Heroes of Heat as they do such a fantastic job. With all the time and product they give as part of their installs, I think it is important that people should try and give back when they can. I look forward to seeing where this Delta ends up.”
Jonathon Hallam, from the Heroes of Heat, added: “Our project relies on the support of the industry, and we are extremely grateful to receive the hot water cylinder from Darren. We know it will make a real difference to someone once it is installed.”
Stuart Elsy, Managing Director of OSO Hotwater, concluded: “This is a wonderful gesture by Darren and we are thrilled to see the cylinder going to such a worthy cause. It will be great to see the project get underway in the near future.”
Heroes of Heat is awaiting a suitable project to receive the cylinder and will announce this as soon as it is available.
