Available Eco Measures

Is your boiler more than 10 years old?

 

If so, replacing it with a new high-efficiency combi boiler model will save you energy and money.

A combination (or ‘combi’) boiler will provide your central heating and produce hot water on demand, firing up when you turn on a hot tap in the kitchen or bathroom.

​

It’s a good idea to upgrade your boiler for a number of reasons:

​

- Improved Energy Efficiency
- Lower Utility Bills
- Reliability
- Safety
- Better Heating Control
- Space Saving
- Meeting Regulations
- Environmentally Friendly

A first-time central heating grant is available for properties that have never had central heating before where the homeowner or tenant meets eligibility rules.

 

Central heating systems play a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout your home.

​

Here are some of the notable benefits:

​

- Energy Efficiency: The installation of an energy-efficient central heating system contributes to reduced energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills and a more sustainable home.

- Increased Comfort: Enjoy consistent warmth and comfort throughout your home, even during the coldest months of the year.

- Environmental Contribution: By choosing an energy-efficient heating system, you contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, supporting environmental sustainability.

- Property Value Enhancement: The installation of a modern and energy-efficient central heating system can enhance the value of your property.

​

You can apply if:

​

- Your home must have either no heating at all or one of the following heating systems:
- Electric room heaters, including direct acting room heaters, fan heaters or inefficient electric storage heaters
- Gas room heaters; including fixed mains gas room heaters; or
- Gas fire with back boiler; or
-Solid fossil fuel fire with back boiler
-Electric underfloor or ceiling heating (not part of an electric boiler); or
-Bottled LPG room heating; or
-Solid fossil fuel room heaters; or
-Wood/biomass room heating; or
-Oil room heaters

A quarter of heat is lost through the roof in an un-insulated home. Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is an effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills.

​

Installed correctly, loft insulation should pay for itself many times over in its 40-year lifetime.

​

If access is easy and your loft joists are regular, we can insulate your loft space within a half a day. Using rolls of mineral wool insulation. The first layer is laid between the joists – the horizontal beams that make up the floor of the loft – then another layer is laid at right angles to cover the joists and make the insulation up to the required depth

Internal wall insulation involves adding an insulating layer to the interior walls of your home. This layer helps to retain heat, making your home more energy-efficient and reducing the need for excessive heating.

​

Around half of all the heat lost from a typical solid-walled home escapes through the walls.

Internal solid wall insulation may be suitable for homes made from brick, stone or concrete, and works by adding a layer of thermal material to the existing inside wall.

​

How do I know if my home has solid walls?
If your home is made of brick, and the bricks have an alternating long-short-long pattern, then the walls are likely to be solid.

 

Enhance comfort and energy efficiency with internal wall insulation, ensuring optimal temperature control and reduced energy costs within your home.

Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air and use it to heat your home. They work efficiently even in colder climates, providing a reliable and eco-friendly heating solution.

​

Air source heat pumps use renewable energy from the air to provide heating, reducing the reliance on traditional, non-renewable energy sources and minimizing carbon emissions.

​

Benefits:

- Energy Efficient: Heat pumps absorb energy from the air around your home and transfer it to you home using only a small amount of electricity. Overall, this process is highly efficient and uses 75% less energy than a gas boiler.

​

- Slash Carbon Emissions: By using a little bit of electricity to harness the the energy that is naturally occurring in fresh air,  it means you don’t have to burn gas in your home. For a typical home, this means saving a whopping 2.2 tonnes of carbon per year. It also means no poisonous fumes or risk of explosion!

​

- Year-Round Comfort: Heat pumps are a versatile solution for year-round comfort and operate in even the coldest climates. They also operate best when keeping your home at a constant temperature, meaning no more arguments over when to turn the heating on!

​

 Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process of installing an air source heat pump, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience. With our knowledge and expertise, you can rest assured that your home will be warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

​

Insulating your ground floor is a great way to keep your property warm.

​

Many homes – especially newer ones – will have a ground floor made of solid concrete. This can be insulated when it needs to be replaced, or can have rigid insulation laid on top.

​

Older homes are most likely to have suspended timber floors. If you have air bricks or ventilation bricks on the outside wall(s) of your house that are below floor level, you probably have a suspended timber floor.
