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.

Solar PV 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 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. ​ The benefits of solar electricity are that they cut your electricity bills. Sunlight is free, so once installation is complete, your electricity costs will be reduced. They will also cut your carbon footprint. Solar electricity is low carbon, renewable energy. A typical home solar PV system could save around one tonne of carbon per year, depending on where you live in the UK. ​ Space is a key consideration as is roof angle and the direction it faces. Ideally you want a south facing roof with a pitch at an angle of 30 or 40 degrees. East or west facing roofs can still be considered but North facing roofs are not recommended. ​ Also worth noting that are nearby buildings, chimneys or trees that shade your roof will have a negative impact on the performance of your system. ​ Planning permission is not usually required as Solar is classed as a permitted development but you should always check with your local authority before installing in case there are any local limits or restrictions. ​ With any domestic PV system, there will be times when the electricity you generate is more than you can use or store, so the surplus will be exported to the grid to be used by somebody else. ​ The old Feed-in Tariff closed for applications in March 2019 and has since been replaced by the Smart Export Guarantee. While not as generous as the Feed-in Tariff it is still a worthwhile scheme and does provide some financial support for electricity that you generate and export back to the grid. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ The average cost of a domestic 4.2 kWp solar PV system is around £5000. If you include the Smart Export Guarantee you can save from £255 - £505 per year according to the Energy Saving Trust (saving depend on which part of the country you live in and how much time you are in the house when the Solar PV is generating electricity). Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). We also can offer a privately funded Solar PV package and finance. ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. Apply Now

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.”

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

Geran ECO3 Untuk Tuan Tanah Penyewa harta tanah boleh memenuhi syarat untuk memperoleh dana ECO3, jika mereka menerima manfaat yang layak. ​ Terdapat beberapa sebab mengapa Tuan Tanah mahu penyewa mereka menggunakan skim ini. Meningkatkan pemanasan dan memasang penebat baru ke harta tanah bukan sahaja meningkatkan nilainya tetapi juga, penyewa anda menjimatkan wang pada bil tenaga mereka dan lebih selesa di persekitarannya. Ia juga dapat menarik penyewa baru ketika harta tanah kosong. ​ Semua hartanah di sektor penyewaan swasta di England & Wales perlu mempunyai EPC yang diberi nilai sekurang-kurangnya peringkat 'E' kecuali mereka dikecualikan. Sekiranya harta tanah anda berada di bawah penilaian 'E', anda terhad kepada apa yang pada awalnya boleh dipasang oleh penyewa anda. Ukuran yang tersedia untuk harta dinilai 'F' atau 'G' adalah Penebat dinding pepejal (Penebat Dalaman atau Luaran) & Pemanasan Tengah Kali Pertama. Salah satu daripada ini mesti menjadikan harta benda anda berada di atas nilai 'E' yang bermaksud anda boleh memasang penebat atau pemanasan tambahan. ​ Skim ini memberikan jumlah tetap yang merangkumi harta tanah, sebaliknya setiap ukuran menarik dana pada skor yang disusun berdasarkan jenis harta tanah, jumlah bilik tidur dan jenis pemanasan pra pemasangan. Terdapat kenaikan tambahan jika misalnya harta tanah anda tidak menggunakan pemanasan gas utama. Ini boleh bermakna bahawa anda mungkin memasang beberapa ukuran yang berpotensi tanpa kos kepada anda, tetapi anda dan penyewa anda mendapat faedah sepenuhnya. ​ Faedah ini merangkumi: ​ Memperbaiki nilai dan keadaan harta tanah Menurunkan bil tenaga untuk penyewa sedia ada dan baru Menjadikan harta benda anda sebagai tempat tinggal yang lebih selesa Membantu menjaga & menarik penyewa baru Memudahkan penjualan harta tanah Membantu melindungi alam sekitar ​ Tidak ada kos untuk memeriksa kelayakan atau menjalani proses tinjauan dan jika ada sumbangan diperlukan, anda boleh mengatakan tidak kapan saja sebelum pemasangan. ​ Juga tidak ada pemasang yang akan memasang apa-apa di harta tanah anda tanpa kebenaran bertulis tuan tanah. Kami meminta butir-butir Tuan Rumah supaya jika penyewa mengirimkan cek kelayakan kepada kami, kami dapat memastikan Tuan Tanah mengetahui dan juga apa ukuran harta tanah mereka yang berhak dipasang. ​ Terdapat keterangan mengenai skema dan apa yang berpotensi anda pasangkan di harta tanah anda di bawah atau jika anda telah dihantar ke sini oleh Tuan Tanah anda, sila klik butang 'Memohon Pembiayaan'. ​ ​ ​ Memohon Pembiayaan Apa yang Boleh Dipasang Penyewa di bawah Skim ECO3? Kami telah menyenaraikan penggantian pemanasan, peningkatan pemanasan dan penebat yang boleh anda pasangkan di bawah skema ECO3 jika anda adalah penyewa. ​ Anda boleh memasang penebat di samping pemanasan dan langkah penebat lain, jadi apabila kami menghubungi anda, kami akan memberi anda gambaran lengkap mengenai apa yang kami rasa anda boleh pasang. Apabila tinjauan selesai, ini akan disahkan dengan anda. PEMANASAN PUSAT PERTAMA Semua pelanggan yang tinggal di harta tanah yang tidak pernah mempunyai Sistem Pemanasan Pusat dan mempunyai salah satu yang berikut sebagai sumber pemanasan utama layak mendapat dana untuk memasang Pemanasan Pusat Pertama Kali. ​ Pemanas bilik elektrik, termasuk pemanas bilik bertindak langsung, pemanas kipas dan pemanas simpanan elektrik yang tidak cekap Pemanas bilik gas Api gas dengan dandang belakang Api bahan api fosil pepejal dengan dandang belakang Pemanasan bawah lantai langsung atau siling elektrik (tidak disambungkan ke dandang elektrik) Pemanasan bilik LPG botol Pemanas bilik bahan api fosil pepejal Pemanasan bilik kayu / biojisim Pemanas bilik minyak Tidak ada pemanasan sama sekali ​ Sekiranya anda mahukan pemanasan pusat gas, anda mesti tinggal di tempat yang mempunyai sambungan gas baru atau sambungan gas yang tidak pernah digunakan untuk pemanasan. Pembiayaan ECO tidak meliputi kos penyambungan gas tetapi pemberian lain mungkin seperti pemberian pihak berkuasa tempatan. ​ Yang berikut boleh dipasang sebagai FTCH: ​ Dandang Gas ​ Dandang Biomas ​ Dandang LPG Botol Dandang LPG Pam Haba Sumber Udara Pam Haba Sumber Tanah Dandang elektrik ​ Semua harta tanah mesti mempunyai loteng atau ruang di penebat bumbung dan penebat dinding rongga (jika dapat dipasang) sama ada sudah ada atau dipasang sebelum Pemanasan Pusat Kali Pertama selesai. Ini adalah sesuatu yang akan dibincangkan oleh pemasang dengan anda pada masa itu dan boleh dibiayai di bawah ECO. PENINGKATAN PANAS ELEKTRIK Sekiranya anda sedang menggunakan Pemanas Bilik Elektrik untuk memanaskan rumah anda, maka menaik taraf ke Pemanas Penyimpanan Elektrik Pengekalan Panas Tinggi akan meningkatkan kehangatan dan kecekapan harta tanah anda. Pemanas Penyimpanan Elektrik berfungsi dengan menggunakan elektrik puncak (biasanya pada waktu malam) dan menyimpan haba yang akan dikeluarkan pada waktu siang. Untuk melakukan ini, pemanas penyimpanan mempunyai teras yang sangat bertebat, terdiri daripada bahan berkepadatan tinggi. Mereka direka untuk mengekalkan haba yang disimpan selama mungkin. Pemanas simpanan menggunakan tenaga di luar puncak kerana ia lebih murah daripada elektrik kadar standard. Mereka biasanya akan mempunyai litar yang sama sekali terpisah dari seluruh kediaman anda, dan hanya akan dihidupkan apabila tempoh waktu puncak bermula. Setelah anda dihubungi oleh pemasang a pengiraan haba dilakukan untuk menentukan bilangan dan ukuran pemanas Penyimpanan Elektrik yang betul yang anda perlukan untuk harta tanah anda. Anda mesti menggunakan tarif Economy 7 atau memasang Economy 7 meter untuk memasang Pemanas Penyimpanan Elektrik. ​ Harta mesti dinilai AE pada EPC terbaru anda untuk memenuhi syarat untuk ukuran ini. INSULASI WALL CAVITY Kira-kira 35% dari semua kehilangan haba dari rumah di UK berlaku melalui dinding luar yang tidak bertebat. Sekiranya rumah anda dibina selepas tahun 1920, ada kemungkinan besar harta tanah anda mempunyai dinding rongga. Dinding rongga dapat diisi dengan bahan penebat dengan menyuntikkan manik ke dinding. Ini menyekat sebarang kehangatan yang berlaku di antara mereka, mengurangkan wang yang anda belanjakan untuk pemanasan. ​ Anda boleh memeriksa jenis dinding anda dengan melihat corak bata anda. Sekiranya batu bata mempunyai corak yang rata dan diluruskan secara panjang lebar, maka dinding tersebut cenderung mempunyai rongga. Sekiranya sebilangan batu bata diletakkan dengan ujung persegi menghadap ke atas, dindingnya cenderung kukuh. Sekiranya dindingnya batu, kemungkinan akan kukuh. ​ Sekiranya rumah anda dibina dalam 25 tahun kebelakangan ini ia mungkin sudah terlindung atau mungkin sebahagiannya terlindung. Pemasang boleh memeriksa ini dengan pemeriksaan borescope. ​ Harta mesti dinilai AE pada EPC terbaru anda untuk memenuhi syarat untuk ukuran ini INSULASI WALL LUAR Penebat dinding luaran sangat sesuai untuk kediaman dinding padat di mana anda ingin memperbaiki rupa bahagian luar rumah anda dan meningkatkan penarafan termalnya. Memasang penebat dinding luaran di rumah anda tidak memerlukan kerja dalaman sehingga gangguan dapat dikurangkan minimum. Kebenaran merancang mungkin diperlukan, jadi periksa dengan pihak berkuasa tempatan anda sebelum memasangnya ke harta tanah anda. Beberapa harta tanah tidak dapat dipasang di bahagian depan harta tanah tetapi boleh dipasang di bahagian belakang. Penebat dinding luaran bukan sahaja dapat meningkatkan penampilan rumah anda, tetapi juga meningkatkan kalis cuaca dan ketahanan bunyi mengurangkan draf dan kehilangan haba. Ia juga akan meningkatkan jangka hayat dinding anda kerana melindungi tembok bata anda, tetapi ini perlu dibuat secara struktur sebelum pemasangan. INSULASI WALL DALAMAN Penebat dinding dalaman sangat sesuai untuk kediaman dinding padat di mana anda tidak boleh mengubah bahagian luar harta tanah. ​ Sekiranya rumah anda dibina sebelum tahun 1920, ada kemungkinan besar harta tanah anda mempunyai dinding yang kukuh. ​ Anda boleh memeriksa jenis dinding anda dengan melihat corak bata anda. ​ Sekiranya sebilangan batu bata diletakkan dengan ujung persegi menghadap ke atas, dindingnya cenderung kukuh. Sekiranya dindingnya batu, kemungkinan akan kukuh. ​ Penebat dinding dalaman dipasang di setiap bilik berdasarkan bilik dan digunakan pada semua dinding luar. Papan plaster Polyisocyanurate Insulated (PIR) biasanya digunakan untuk membuat dinding dalaman bertebat kering. Dinding dalaman kemudian dilepa untuk meninggalkan permukaan yang halus dan bersih untuk hiasan semula. ​ Ini bukan sahaja menjadikan rumah anda lebih panas pada musim sejuk tetapi juga dapat menjimatkan wang anda dengan memperlambat kehilangan haba melalui dinding yang tidak bertebat. ​ Ini akan sedikit mengurangkan luas lantai setiap bilik yang digunakan (kira-kira sekitar 10cm per dinding) INSULASI LOFT Haba dari rumah anda meningkat sehingga kira-kira seperempat haba yang dihasilkan hilang melalui bumbung rumah yang tidak bertebat. Menebat ruang bumbung rumah anda adalah kaedah penjimatan tenaga termudah dan paling menjimatkan dan mengurangkan bil pemanasan anda. Penebat harus diterapkan ke kawasan loteng dengan kedalaman sekurang-kurangnya 270mm, baik di antara balok dan di atas kerana joist itu sendiri membuat "jambatan panas" dan memindahkan haba ke udara di atas. Dengan teknik dan bahan penebat moden, masih boleh menggunakan ruang untuk penyimpanan atau sebagai tempat yang dapat dihuni dengan penggunaan panel lantai yang bertebat. ​ Harta mesti dinilai AE pada EPC terbaru anda untuk memenuhi syarat untuk ukuran ini BILIK DI BILIK Hingga 25% kehilangan haba di rumah boleh dikaitkan dengan ruang atap yang tidak bertebat. Pemberian ECO dapat menampung keseluruhan kos untuk semua bilik loteng dilindungi peraturan bangunan semasa menggunakan bahan penebat terkini. ​ Banyak harta benda lama yang pada awalnya dibina dengan ruang bilik loteng atau 'room-in-roof' sama ada tidak diisolasi sama sekali atau tidak dilindungi menggunakan bahan dan teknik yang tidak mencukupi jika dibandingkan dengan peraturan bangunan hari ini. Ruangan-di-atap atau ruang loteng hanya ditentukan oleh adanya tangga yang tetap untuk mengakses bilik dan harus ada jendela. ​ Dengan menggunakan bahan dan kaedah penebat terkini, penebat ruang loteng yang ada bermaksud bahawa anda masih boleh menggunakan ruang bumbung untuk penyimpanan atau ruang bilik tambahan jika diperlukan semasa masih memerangkap haba di tempat dan bilik di bawah. ​ Harta mesti dinilai AE pada EPC terbaru anda untuk memenuhi syarat untuk ukuran ini INSULASI YANG TIDAK DITETAPKAN Apabila memikirkan kawasan di rumah anda yang memerlukan penebat, di bawah lantai biasanya bukan yang pertama dalam senarai. Walau bagaimanapun, rumah dengan ruang merangkak di tingkat bawah dapat memanfaatkan penebat lantai bawah. Penebat di bawah lantai menghilangkan draf yang mungkin masuk melalui jurang antara papan lantai dan tanah, membuat anda merasa lebih panas, dan menurut Energy Saving Trust menjimatkan sehingga £ 40 per tahun. ​ Harta mesti dinilai AE pada EPC terbaru anda untuk memenuhi syarat untuk ukuran ini Memohon Pembiayaan

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

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.

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.
