An innovative method to convert oil-heated homes

The energy crisis has become a major factor for those consuming gas and electricity consumption. As the cost-of-living increases, petrol and diesel prices and that of goods in shops grow unpredictable, consumers and homeowners should consider the best option for managing the uncertainties and take decisions to save money. Installation of Solar photovoltaic (panels), heat pumps and green hydrogen are increasingly viable renewable energy technologies for both domestic and commercial properties in the UK. Correctly integrating these technologies is where gains can be made. Navigating this complexity requires an expert site survey to establish the energy requirements hence find the most suitable efficient technologies for the customer. An expert site survey should consider a holistic approach to all installations, determining best insulation to minimise and eliminate any heat loss. The report primarily considers the customer’s estimated electricity and gas usage. LED Lighting upgrade would potentially save over 50% of electricity consumption and save consumers money. Typical considerations for solar photovoltaic and heat pumps: • Household electricity requirements throughout the day • Maximising solar panels installations on roof • Sun direction on roof, inclination and shading factors • Roof structural survey • Regulations for listed buildings • Solar panels optimisation and micro- inverter options • Integration of solar electricity to your water heating system • Battery storage system integration to solar panels installed • Battery and inverter location • DNO application • Three phase or single-phase electricity meter option • Smart meter requirement (COP10, COP11 and P375) • Transition to low carbon economy • Integration of electric vehicles to solar pv installed with EV charger • Management of surplus solar panel electricity generation • Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) • Solar canopy options based on space and consumer energy requirements • Loft and cavity wall insulation • Double glazing or triple glazing windows • Heat Loss calculation • Best type of heat pumps • Best location for installing heat pumps • Oversizing or under sizing of heat pumps • Heat pumps noise level • ASHP AND GSHP Planning application • LED lighting upgrade for your commercial or domestic properties • Solar panel integration to future green hydrogen To assist you in making the right decisions and protect your investment and give you peace of mind, book a site survey for unbiased expert analysis: get in touch .
