Artificial Grass Should Definitely Be Top Of Your List To Complete Your Dream Home.

EEC Home Improvements recently heard from a concerned homeowner who had purchased a new build property. Their new home was everything they had been looking for. After a few weeks of living in their brand new modern home – they soon realised there was a problem with their garden lawn.

The lawn started to look worn out and unhealthy, spoiling the appearance of the garden. Huge bare patches where appearing everywhere. After treating the lawn with various products and raking lawn-repair seeds into the soil with no improvement, they made the decision to seek professional help.

EEC Home Improvements arranged for one of our expert advisors to complete a free no obligation survey to determine the cause and suggest a solution. We concluded when the property was built, waste and rubble was buried beneath the lawn and the soil was compacted too heavily, probably using machinery.

 The amount of damage, meant the lawn would have to be completely re-laid, so we provided lots of options and suggestions to solve the problem. Following a discussion about what they wanted and what would be best for them; they decided to invest in permanent grass.

 Take a look at how we transformed their garden with artificial grass to create a permanent luscious green lawn and a beautiful block paving seating area.

Mr John Ball Jnr “ I was shown several samples of artificial grass by EEC’s advisor and couldn’t believe how real it looked. I made my decision almost instantly. Quick installation and a 1st class service from start to finish. No more weeding, seeding, mowing or watering, means I have more time to play with the kids on the beautiful permanent grass. Thanks EEC Home Improvements “

Loft Conversion  The most obvious benefit of having a loft conversion is the extra space that will be added to your home, which is a great solution for a family in need of an extra bedroom, or for someone who wants office space. In fact there are many reasons why people choose to have their loft converted. One of the benefits of converting a loft is that you may open up a whole different perspective. It may be possible to create windows that give access to a beautiful view, or even to add a balcony in time.

Conservatories if you have a pretty big land area, having a conservatory is a great way to make full use of all of your spare land. This also allows you to enjoy the surrounding view you have in your home. Having a conservatory allows you additional space to entertain guests and visitors, and is a pleasant break from just having to hang out in the living room. Being able to reserve an area of the house for socialising or quiet reflection is a brilliant feature for many families and should help to keep family life happy.

Week 1 – XTreme STORM Bootcamp – The Fitness Test – EEC Home Improvements raising money and awareness for Queenscourt Hospice and Claire House Children’s Hospice in Southport.

A sigh of relief after completing the 1st of 17, military style bootcamps leading up to XTreme STORM – The UKs toughest assault course.

eec-home-improvements-xtreme-storm

Ex-Royal Marine Commando’s Steven Howard and Chris Lancaster, who have both served in Afghanistan, owners of Go Commando Bootcamp, led the first fitness session  – which was demanding to say the least.

In freezing conditions we made our way to ‘The Leisure Lakes’, not sure of what lay ahead of us; with a mixture of anxiety and excitement we grouped together to receive the 6-week ‘plan of action’.

We were instructed to jog to a near-by open field where they showed us an un-completed obstacle assault course.  We were advised that the course would be complete by our 4th Bootcamp and that’s where our endurance would really be put to the test. Zip Wires, balance poles surrounded by water, tyres tunnels, monkey bars, climbing frames and other scary looking obstacles were pointed out to us. Intimidated by the thought of the weeks to come, the training began. Running, sprints, high knees and lunges started with immediate affect (no rest for the wicked.) Ten minutes and a few punches later, without time to catch our breath we were off again, this time sprinting to our next challenge. Body Strengthening.

Paired up, sat in the mud and ready to take on the first core workout, we took turns helping each other complete press ups. We had 1 minute to do as many press-ups as possible, some of us managed the whole set in full press, others had to demote to a knee press (its all about improvement throughout the weeks.) Next up….Sit ups. This time, 2 minutes. After a minute and a half the moans and groans were getting louder, but we all stuck at it, adamant to succeed. Shattered and pulling our selves from the ground we heard the dreaded words ‘Bleep Test Time’.

With cones set apart by 25m, we were lined up as they explained the bleep test sequence to us. Starting off slow, sweating more as each level progressed, we started to drop like flies, one by one, falling to the grass, totally out of breath and legs like jelly. It was unpleasant to put it mildly.

Next challenge – 1 mile race. In the pitch-black, we waited for the whistle. Ice-cold winds instantly blasted against us whilst dodging barely visible potholes and jumping over speed bumps, struggling to keep a steady pace, we eventually split up and ran our own race.

Each and every one of us gave everything we had, all with the same goal in mind – XTreme STORM and our 2 charities. Bring on the next session we say.

EEC Home Improvements are competing to raise money for two charities – Queenscourt Hospice and Claire House Children’s Hospice. If you would like to make a donation please visit the link below.

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.

Battling rising energy bills with EEC Home Improvements

EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS RISING ENERGY COSTS

CUT THE COST OF YOUR BILLS TODAY WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY AND EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS 

With the never ending rising energy bills home owners are finding it harder than ever to keep up with energy prices. It is predicted that energy bills will rise on average 14.5% to 19% a year. Tariffs have risen by more than 200% over the past five years, according to the Electricity Intensive Users Group (EIUG).

British Gas has announced a price rise of 6% for gas and electricity customers that will add £80 to the typical household’s annual bill, while npower has announced an 8.8% price increase for gas and 9.1% for electricity, adding £112 to bills.

The rises, which come into effect on 16 November for British Gas and 10 days later for npower customers, will make the latter the most expensive supplier in the country. Customers on its most expensive tariff face a typical annual bill of £1,356.

SSE has already announced price rises of 9%, which take effect on Monday, making it the second most expensive supplier, at £1,354 a year. British Gas is a close third with average bills rising to £1,336.

The move is a bitter blow for householders who suffered gas and electricity price rises in 2011 of 18% and 16% respectively from British Gas and 17% from npower. This was followed by a 5% drop in electricity tariffs by British Gas in January 2012 and a 3% cut in the same month from npower.

EEC HOME IMPROVEMENTS offer a wide range of renewable energy which will help cut your annual bills. From Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Wind Turbines, Ground Source heat pumps, A Rated Boilers and much more saving energy can start now!
