Room in Roof Insulation Up to 25% of heat loss in a home can be attributed to an un-insulated roof space. ​ ​ A room-in-roof or attic room is simply defined by the presence of a fixed staircase to access the room and there should be a window Many older properties that were originally built with loft room space or 'room-in-roof' were either not insulated at all or insulated using inadequate materials and techniques when compared to today's building regulations. . ​ By using the latest insulation materials and methods, insulating existing attic rooms means that you can still use the roof space for storage or additional room space if needed while still trapping heat in the property and rooms below. ​ 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

Non-Condensing Gas Boiler Upgrade We can offer a gas boiler upgrade if your current boiler is non-condensing and you own the property you currently live in , through the ECO4 scheme. ​ The new boiler will be a more efficient condensing Gas boiler . ​ Non-Condensing Boiler vs Condensing Gas Boilers ​ All new gas boiler installations must be condensing by law, which came into effect in 2005, however there are a small list of exceptions that can still allow a non-condensing boiler to be installed. ​ Only condensing boilers can be installed under the ECO4 scheme. There is no exceptions made under the scheme. ​ All well designed and maintained boilers burn their fuel efficiently, but non-condensing boilers inevitably lose heat in the form of hot gases that escape up the flue. This limits their overall efficiency. Non-condensing boilers may only have an efficiency rating of 70 to 80 per cent , while in old models this figure could be even lower at 50 to 60 per cent . In contrast, condensing boilers have been designed to minimise this heat loss and have an average efficiency of 95% with some models able to achieve 99% efficiency . Condensing boilers feature larger heat exchangers that cool the flue gases before they escape, condensing the water vapour out of them. The temperature of the flue gases during this heat exchange process drops rapidly from approximately 130℃ to 50℃. The condensation formed as a result is what gives the boilers their name, and there can be as much as two litres of it produced every hour. This condensate liquid is drained into a waste water outlet via a condensate pipe. Thanks to this additional heat exchange process, condensing boilers are able to extract virtually all of the heat latent in the flue gases. This additional heat energy is then transferred back into the heating system. The extra efficiency of condensing boilers means they can offer major cost savings and they are also more environmentally friendly, helping you to lower the carbon emissions of your household. ​ Advantages of condensing gas boilers ​ More energy-efficient as they use more of the fuel for usable heat Lower energy bills Use less fuel than non-condensing boilers to produce same amount of heat and hot water Reduced CO2 emissions and carbon footprint ​ How can I tell which type of boiler I have? There are 2 easy ways to check if your boiler is either condensing or non-condensing and you do not have a manual to hand. ​ If the boiler has a white plastic pipe coming out of the bottom of the boiler and then going outside into a drain, it is condensing . You will usually see the condensate pipe on the exterior wall to the boiler. If the flue is white plastic it is condensing . If it the flue is metal, then it is non-condensing . ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. Apply for Funding

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

ECO Simplified Shortlisted for StartUp Awards National Series Sunderland-based Eco Simplified has been named one of the most exciting new businesses in the region after being shortlisted as part of a brand-new awards programme. The StartUp Awards National Series has been launched to recognise the booming startup scene across the UK which has accelerated since the pandemic began. In 2020, when most of the world was shutting down, more than 400,000 start-ups were set up in Britain, with similar increases seen in other European countries. There was stiff competition with over 2,500 applications received in response to the Startup Awards National Series’ first-ever call for entries. James Aspey, Director of Eco Simplified said: It is a privilege to work in an industry where every day we can make a difference to people living in fuel poverty, whilst making a positive difference to the environment. Big thank you to the team at Eco Simplified, I am so proud of you all. Supported nationally by BT, EY, Dell & Intel, the programme will celebrate the achievements of the amazing individuals across the UK who have turned an idea into an opportunity and taken the risk to launch a new product or service. Co-founded by the team behind the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, the new series follows the success of the Wales StartUp Awards, after organisers recognised the exceptional potential in the startup scene across the other British regions. Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, the creator of the StartUp Awards National Series, said: “​​New firms are important for generating economic prosperity, employment opportunities and innovation. Since 2016, the Wales StartUp Awards have celebrated this amazing annual contribution to our economy by entrepreneurs and the impact they have on communities across the nation. “Given the sheer volume of phenomenal start-ups we’ve heard from since then, as well as the huge post-pandemic shift in people’s desires to take their career in a new direction and set up a business against the odds, we felt it was the right time to take the programme nationwide. We have been blown away by the standard of entries in this first year and truly look forward to crowning the winners in June.”

First Time Central Heating If you currently live in a property that does not have a central heating system, you will be paying more to heat your home than a property with a central heating system. ​ Below are some examples of properties that would be considered to have no central heating system present. ​ Electric room heaters, including direct acting room heaters, fan heaters and inefficient electric storage heaters Gas room heaters Gas fire with back boiler Solid fossil fuel fire with back boiler Direct electric underfloor or ceiling heating (not connected to an electric boiler) Bottled LPG room heating Solid fossil fuel room heaters Wood/biomass room heating Oil room heater No heating at all ​ With the push towards renewable heating, it may become more difficult in the future to have a gas supply fitted at your property. It is certainly the case with heating grants as if you want gas central heating, you must live in a property that has an existing gas supply and meter that has never had central heating installed. ​ ​ The following may be installed as FTCH: ​ Gas Boiler ​Biomass Boiler​ Air Source Heat Pump Ground Source Heat Pump ​ ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ The exact savings depend on what the pre-main heating system was and what has now been installed. This makes it difficult to give a fair bill saving. All properties must have loft or room in roof insulation and cavity or solid wall insulation (if able to be installed) either already present or installed before Gas First Time Central Heating is completed to access ECO4 funding for First Time Central Heating.

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.

External Wall Insulation About 35% of all heat loss from UK homes is due to un-insulated external walls. External wall insulation is defined as a layer of insulation that is fixed to an existing external wall. This layer will be finished either with a coat of render or with an alternative cladding to protect it from the elements. External wall insulation is perfect for solid wall homes where you want to improve the look of the exterior of your home and its thermal rating. ​ 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 small flat to a large detached home). External wall insulation cannot only improve the look of your home, but also improve the weather proofing and sound resistance, alongside reducing drafts and heat loss. Having external wall insulation fitted to your home requires no internal work so the disruption can be kept to a minimum. Some period properties cannot have this installed to the front of the property but can have it installed to the rear. It will also increase the lifespan of your walls as it protects your brickwork, but these do need to be structurally sound before installation. 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

Flat Roof Insulation A fl at roof is any roof space in your home with a pitch of less than 10 degrees. They are very easy to spot and as they don't usually have a loft space, they wont have a loft hatch. ​ F lat roofs being added to properties were popular in properties built between the 1950's - 1970's and if your flat roof is from this period, it is extremely unlikely to be insulated and if it is, it wont be up to todays standards. If your flat roof is uninsulated, it will mean that in winter, warm air will easily escape from any heated rooms through the flat roof, leaving the room cold and uninviting. ​ If you have recently had the membrane replaced if for example you had a leak, then it is unlikely that insulation was added, unless you specifically asked for it. ​ There are 2 ways to insulate your flat roof: ​ Warm Roof: ​ This involves adding rigid insulation board on to the roof from the outside and then coving with a waterproof membrane. This is the best way to insulate a flat roof as there are no condensation issues to contend with. Cold Roof: ​ This is the most common way that most households have their flat roofs insulated. It involves placing the insulation material between the joists spaces the support the roof. This can only be added if there is a gap of at least 50mm between the roof and the insulation to allow for air flow. ​ If you have very shallow joists then this is not recommended. As most heat is lost through uninsulated roof spaces, if you do have your flat roof insulated you can expect similar savings to insulating your loft depending on how much of your property the flat roof covers. ​ 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).
