Heating bills rising and rising and you cant keep up? A Ground Source Heat Pump could solve the problem.

 EEC Home Improvements Ground Source Heat Pumps

Did you know that we are only 40 years away from oil depletion, and there are only 65 years of gas left? * * (Source: Statistical Review of World Energy 2012). How will that affect us? Well it already has, no doubt you will have noticed a rise in your energy bills.

Now’s the time to consider various types of Renewable Energy options to improve your homes sustainability.

When we think of Renewable Energy we often think of Solar Panel Systems, Solar Thermal Systems or Wind Turbines but what about a Ground Source Heat Pump?

There are many benefits of installing a Ground Source Heat Pump. Ground Source Heat Pumps could lower your energy bills especially if you are switching from traditional electric heating, and could provide you with an income through the governments Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Depending on which fuel you are replacing, you could also contribute to lowering your homes carbon emissions, it will heat your home and provide hot water and need little maintenance – that’s why its called ‘fit and forget technology’.

A ground source heat pump works by absorbing energy from the ground via a series of pipes, which are laid under your garden. Heat is absorbed from the ground which is turned into fluid using a mix of water and anti freeze, then the system pumps the fluid into a heat exchanger, which in turn pushes heat into your home.

The length of the ground loop depends on the size of your home and the amount of heat you need. Longer loops can draw more heat from the ground, but need more space to be buried in. If space is limited, a vertical borehole can be drilled instead.

To find out if your property is suitable for a Ground Source Heat Pump contact EEC Home Improvements today. A heat pump installer will carry out a FREE survey and draw up any necessary plans to assess if your home is suitable.

Permanent Grass EEC Home Improvements

EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS PERMANENT GRASS

EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS PERMANENT GRASS

100% Safe, No Mowing & No Maintenance! 

It’s definitely greener on our side! 

Originally used for football pitches and other sports arenas, permanent grass is now seen in gardens, often for the whole outdoor area or sometimes for just certain high-use areas, such as around decking. It’s also frequently used in children’s nurseries and school playgrounds.

There are plenty of good reasons for this. The main one is that the artificial grass is so good that only when you’re close can you see it’s not actually real grass. It also looks great at all times of year and in all areas — no more brown patches in summer or worn areas under trees.

Permanent grass offers many years of almost maintenance-free use. There is no need to cut it or water it or to use artificial fertiliser or pesticides. It’s also great for kids to play on, as it won’t stain clothes or footwear.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE

EPC CHECKS EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS

EPC CHECKS EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS

A requirement for Solar PV Installations since 1st April 2012

If you’re buying, selling or renting out a property or installing a Solar PV system, you’ll require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) on your home.

An EPC gives information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. An EPC records how energy efficient a property is, providing a rating of the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of a building. An EPC also provides recommendations for further energy efficiencies and cost savings to your home. An EPC is valid for 10 years.

How is it worked out?

Our Domestic Energy Assessors are qualified to inspect any property to assess it for efficiency, to issue certificates and to advise on any improvements — such as fitting loft insulation, double glazing or boiler replacement. As you can see from an Energy Efficiency Rating chart, grades are awarded ranging from ‘A’ at the top for very-energy-efficient, down to ‘G’ for the least energy-efficient home, with the average grade being a ‘D’.

Once we’ve carried out the survey and issued the certificate, it will be lodged in a central database along with a unique identifying number. Access to each EPC held on the database is restricted to the property owner / seller and potential buyers via this unique reference number.

You may be eligible for a grant

With some recommendations, grants may be available for home improvements from national or local government, or utilities suppliers.**Source: Energy Saving Trust

 EEC Home Improvements offer a free of charge EPC with all Solar PV installations. An EPC to minimum level “D” is a requirement to obtain the FIT payment at its highest rate. For further energy efficiencies and cost savings in your home, it makes sense to contact us now about an EPC.
