Gas Boiler Upgrades

Did you know that heating your home usually eats half of the money you spend on bills?

So trading your old boiler in for a new one can make a big difference. If you are getting the right combination of certain benefits, you could have your old gas, oil or LPG boiler replaced with a new one.

External Wall Insulation

More than a third of all heat is un-insulated houses flows through outside walls.

The better insulated your house, the less heat you will be losing which means thatyou do not have to conduct your heating system up as far (saving money).

Cavity Wall Insulation

Cavity Wall Insulation stores the heat within the inner walls, bouncing it back into the room and holding it for longer. This gives you a more even temperature and gets rid of the draughts that come down from the walls.

About a third of all the heat lost in an uninsulated home escapes through the walls. By properly insulating cavity walls, you will save energy and cut costs off your heating bill.

In general, houses built from the 1990s onwards have wall insulation to keep the heat in, but if your house is older than that, it may not have any wall insulation at all.

Loft Insulation

How does this work?

The mineral fibre is designed to act as a blanket and keeps heat from escaping by trapping it in. Our installers only use premium loft insulation materials throughout.

Funding is available for properties with empty lofts, and also to top-up existing loft insulation if the insulation level is less than 100mm(below joist level) then we can increase this to 270-400mm.

Approximately a quarter of the money you spend to heat your home will be lost through your roof space.

If you have no loft insulation or it is more than 7 years old then we would definitely recommend you upgrade to the latest standards to generate maximum savings.

With our Underfloor insulation solutions, you will have full coverage by filling all gaps between joists, eliminating air movement, and reducing heat loss.

Our specialists will help you find the grants that fit your requirements and the type of property you own. They will visit your home to inspect it and determine the most effective way to improve its energy efficiency.

Efficient Way to Improve Home Insulation

Upgrading your underfloor insulation is a simple yet effective way to improve your home's energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact

Room & Roof Insulation

The better insulated your house, the less heat you will be losing which means thatyou do not have to conduct your heating system up as far (saving money).

First Time Central Heating

It's no doubt that your central heating system is a crucial part of your home, especially in the winters. In fact, 40% of your energy bill is spent on electricity and gas. As essential as heating systems are, there's still a lot of important information about them that you may not know. Especially if you're thinking about replacing one or getting a new central heating system.

Your central heating system, may consist of an electric boiler or gas boiler, does its work in the background of your house to provide you with warm water and heat in the winters. But, you need to consider what your current heating system offers, in order to make sure it’s still the right one for you.

Storage Heater

Storage heaters store heat generated from cheap night time electricity and release it during the day.

They use electricity to heat up ceramic or clay bricks inside them overnight and release the heat gradually to keep your home warm the next day.

Night storage heaters are designed primarily for homes with time-of-use electricity tariffs, such as Economy 7 or Economy 10. These have cheaper rates for electricity overnight (around 12pm-7am but times vary). This means you can use cheaper off-peak electricity to heat your home during the day.

Solar PV Panels

Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity that you can use in your home.

A solar PV panel consists of many cells made from layers of semi conducting material, most commonly silicon when light shines on this material, a flow of electricity is created. The cells don't need direct sunlight to work and can even work on cloudy days. However, the stronger the sunshine. the more electricity is generated.

Solar PV systems are made up of several panels, with each panel generating around 410W of energy in strong sunlight. typical systems contain around 10 panels and generate direct current electricity. Because the electricity used for household appliances is alternating current, an inverter is installed along with the system to convert direct current electricity into alternating current. This electricity can be used throughout your home or exported to the grid.

 

Air Source Heat Pumps

An air source heat pump is a type of heating and cooling system that uses the
ambient air outside your home as the primary source of energy. It works by extracting
heat from the air outside, and using it to heat your home during colder months.
During warmer months, it operates in reverse, removing heat from your home and
releasing it outside.

One of the primary advantages of air source heat pump is its ability to provide
efficient heating and hot water solutions by extracting heat from the air. These
systems are designed to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy bills, making
them ideal for those looking to upgrade their gas boiler or explore alternative
heating options. The system uses a compressor to circulate a refrigerant through a
cycle of evaporation and condensation, which transfers heat from one area to
another. Air source heat pumps are energy efficient and environmentally friend, as
they use renewable energy and produce fewer emissions than traditional heating
systems. They are also versatile, as they can be used in a variety of settings,
from single Family homes to large commercial buildings.

Smart Heating Controls

Smart heating is a home heating system that’s connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and controlled remotely through a smartphone, tablet, or PC. And the convenient thing about smart heating is that you don’t have to be at home to control it.

The most essential component of smart heating is the smart thermostat, as the system’s primary function is to adjust the heating temperature and switch it on and off. But smart home heating systems go beyond just that.

They come with all sorts of clever features, such as detecting open windows, turning the heating off if no one is home, turning it on when they’re about to return, and much more. We’ll cover these features in more detail later in this guide.

Other smart heating products include radiator valves, central heating control packs, and electric radiators. And there are many different brands available.

Smart radiator thermostat set to reduce household heating costs

Vestemi, the energy saving technology company, recently announced the launch of its first product, Radbot – a money-saving, easy-to-use, smart radiator thermostat.

Radbot offers householders the ability to heat individual rooms only when needed whilst reducing the temperature in empty rooms, therefore saving energy and money. In fact, recent customer trials have demonstrated impressive average savings of 31 per cent - around £180 - on an average annual heating bill*.

Radbot is incredibly easy to self-install and is operated the same way as a standard, manual heating thermostat. It also doesn’t require internet connectivity, complex programming or a smartphone app.

Through the use of artificial intelligence, Radbot monitors light and human activity by tracking how often householders use their rooms in order to establish their patterns of movement. By doing this, Radbot then understands when it needs to heat a radiator, ensuring the room is ready and warm for householders. 

Not only that, but it is also highly intuitive. If a person uses a room outside of their usual routine, Radbot will understand that it needs to heat the radiator there and then. For extra speed, there is also a boost button that gives householders an extra 30 minutes of heating.
