What solutions are available?

Air Source Heat Pumps

The pump pulls in air from outside, then uses it to heat a special refrigerant liquid. As it warms up, the liquid turns into gas.

This gas is compressed to increase its temperature – and provide lots of lovely heat for your home.

Will include smart heating controls for you to easily control the temperature in each room.

External Wall Insulation

Two layers of material are used - one to offer insulation, and an outer layer of mineral or synthetic render to protect against weather and provide a decorative finish.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Insulation materials are inserted in the gaps between the two sets of thin walls on the outside of a house.

Solar PV

More commonly known as Solar panels. The panels convert energy from the sun into electricity to be stored and used.

Under floor insulation

Under Floor Insulation (UFI) is when a layer of insulated material is installed under the floorboards but above either concentrate or timber wood.

Loft Insulation

A material that is placed between the roof and the ceiling of your house to stop heat from escaping.
