Internal Wall Insulation About 35% of all heat loss from UK homes is due to un-insulated external walls. Internal wall insulation is perfect for solid wall homes where you can't alter the outside of the property. ​ If your home was built before 1920 there is a strong likelihood that your property has solid walls. ​ You can check your wall type by looking at your brick pattern.​ If some of the bricks are laid with the square end facing, the wall is likely to be solid. If the wall is stone, it is likely to be solid. ​ Internal wall insulation is installed on a room by room basis and is applied to all exterior walls. Polyisocyanurate Insulated (PIR) plaster boards are usually used creating a dry-lined, insulated internal wall. The internal walls are then plastered to leave a smooth and clean surface for redecoration. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ Can save between £195-£650 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a sma ll flat to a large detached home). Not only will this make your house warmer in winter but it will also save you money by slowing the loss of heat through un-insulated walls.​ It will slightly reduce the floor area of any rooms which it is applied (roughly about 100mm per wall) Can be quite disruptive to install and does require the removal and re-fixing of items such as switches and radiators. Any issues with penetrating or rising damp must be rectified before install can commence. Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. ​ Apply for Funding

Smart Heating Controls Smart heating controls allow you to control your heating from your mobile phone or tablet via an app. Obviously for these to work, you do need an active internet connection. ​ They allow you to have greater control over your home heating by giving you access while you are on the move, so that if you are out, you can always return to a nice warm home. ​ There are several different products available, with varying levels of features available. ​ Within the ECO4 scheme there are several products that can be installed; from smart controls to Time and Temperature zone controls that allow for a minimum of 2 heating zones in your property so that instead of heating your whole house, you could turn the heating off in a zone your are not currently in. This is usually set to upstairs and downstairs but it is also possible to have multiple zones, through additional smart TRV's being added. ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form.

Cavity Wall Insulation About 35% of all heat loss from UK homes is due to un-insulated external walls. If your home was built after the 1930s, the chances are that its external walls are made of two ‘skins’ with a small gap between them. This means they are ‘cavity walls’ and the gap between them can be filled with insulating material to stop the warmth escaping to the outside. ​ A cavity wall can be filled with an insulating material by injecting beads into the wall. This restricts any warmth passing through the wall, reducing the money you spend on heating. ​ You can check your wall type by looking at your brick pattern. If the bricks have an even pattern and are laid lengthways, then the wall is likely to have a cavity. If some of the bricks are laid with the square end facing, the wall is likely to be solid. If the wall is stone, it is likely to be solid. ​ If your home was built within the last 25 years it is likely to been already insulated or possibly partially insulated. The surveyor can check this with a borescope inspection. Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ Can save between £145-£480 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a flat to a detached home). Walls are normally drilled and then filled from the outside, which minimises disruption and mess. Can be completed in a few hours. Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. ​ Apply for Funding

Underfloor Insulation When thinking of areas in your home that need insulation, under the floor is not usually the first on the list. However homes with crawl spaces under the downstairs floor can benefit from underfloor insulation. ​ If you live in an older property you may have suspended timber floors. If you experience cold air coming through the floorboards, underfloor insulation will help to keep the property warm in the winter by preventing heat loss, plus it will also help to keep it cool in the warmer months. Underfloor insulation eliminates drafts that may enter via the gaps between the floorboards and ground, making you feel warmer. ​ It is important to NEVER block up air bricks in your wall. They are needed to help ventilate the space under your floor and to stop your floor board rotting. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ Can save between £50 -£130 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a Mid-terrace house to a detached home ). Will need to lift the floor boards to fit the insulation.

Electric Storage Heaters Electric Storage heaters or night storage heaters as they are sometimes called, charge up at night by taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates on Economy 7 & 10 tariffs. Once charged they release their heat during the day. Storage heaters have ceramic or clay bricks in side them which heat up overnight and then this heat is released gradually during the day. ​ Most storage heaters are wall-mounted and will have 2 dials on the top; one for input and the other for output. Newer models will also have digital displays . ​ To operate storage heaters you must set the input in the evening to the expected heat release of the next day. If it is not particularly cold then there is no need to set to maximum as this would waste energy. Most storage heaters will only charge at night time so they can take advantage of the cheaper electricity but some do have a 'boost' button but this would use the more expensive 'day' rate. ​ The output dial is used to regulate how quick the heat is released by the storage heaters, the higher the setting the quicker the heat is released. ​ Modern Storage heaters ​ The latest Electric Storage heaters are much improved on the previous models and can have significant savings on older models. The new modern High heat retention Electric Storage heaters are also smaller and more compact that the older models and you can also purchase 'Solar enabled' Storage heaters that also take advantage of Solar PV during the day. ​ It is possible to have Electric Storage heaters installed under the ECO4 scheme if you own your home and you have older heaters present or if you have no heating, electric room heaters or old electric storage heaters & have Solar PV installed as well then they can be installed in owner occupied or rented properties. ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form.

Loft Insulation Heat from your house rises resulting in about quarter of the heat generated being lost through the roof of an un-insulated home. Insulating the roof space of your home is the simplest, most cost-effective way of saving energy and reducing your heating bills. Insulation should be applied to the loft area to a depth of at least 270mm, both between the joists and above as the joists themselves create a "heat bridge" and transfer heat to the air above. With modern insulating techniques and materials, it's still possible to use the space for storage or as a habitable space with the use of insulated floor panels. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ Can save between £500-£690 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a Mid-terrace house to a detached home). Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. ​ Apply for Funding

ECO3-Schema Das ECO-Programm wurde mit der Absicht eingerichtet, gefährdeten Haushalten mit den niedrigsten Einkommen zu helfen, ihre Energieeffizienz zu verbessern und ihre Energiekosten zu senken. ​ Die Finanzierung des Programms erfolgt direkt aus der Energierechnung aller in Form einer Ökosteuer. Im Rahmen von ECO müssen mittlere und große Energieversorger die Installation von Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen in britischen (England, Schottland und Wales) Haushalten finanzieren. ​ Jeder verpflichtete Versorger hat ein Gesamtziel, das auf seinem Anteil am heimischen Energiemarkt basiert. ​ Im Oktober 2018 führte die Regierung die neueste Version des ECO-Programms „ECO3“ ein, die jetzt noch mehr Vorteile umfasst – was bedeutet, dass mehr Menschen als je zuvor in den Genuss kommen können. ​ Das Energy Company Obligation (ECO)-System ist ein von der Regierung unterstütztes System, das von OFGEM verwaltet wird. ​ Die verfügbaren Zuschüsse könnten die Kosten decken oder qualifizierende Heizarten und/oder Isolierungen in Häusern in ganz England, Wales und Schottland stark subventionieren. Der Stil und die Art Ihrer Immobilie, in der Sie leben, wird zur Berechnung der Höhe der Finanzierung verwendet, die Sie über ECO erhalten können, ebenso wie der Brennstoff, der das Haus heizt. ​ Die Höhe der Förderung ist im Voraus festgelegt und kann, falls die Kosten der von Ihnen gewählten Installation nicht vollständig gedeckt werden, um einen Beitrag gebeten werden.
