Why
now?
Never has there been a better time to upgrade your
home and improve its energy efficiency:-
Financial incentives
- Reduced
fuel bills will result from improving your home's energy
efficiency.
- Government
Grants and Interest Free
Loans provide upfront cash.
- FIT
(Feed-in-Tariff) enables you to be paid for the excess
energy you generate.
- Reduced
VAT at 5% (reduced from 17.5%) applies to the cost of
all work associated with energy efficiency upgrades, including
labour.
- Added
value to the price of your home will be evident through
improved EPC ratings and greater comfort and quality.
- Safe
Investment: Unlike most investments, a return on energy
efficiency upgrades is guaranteed. Payback periods
have been calculated for most upgrades, advising how long it will
take for you to recoup the upfront cost through reduced fuel bills.
- One final
one ... you are future-proofing against likely
future legislation such as tighter building regulations and carbon
tax - and the sooner you upgrade, the more time you have to benefit.
Fuel dependence
As the price of fuel continues to rise, so does
our dependence on it. Improving the energy efficiency of your home,
or simply reducing your heat loss, and therefore your energy consumption
reduces your dependence on fuel and provides you with security against
future fuel price rises and volatility.
The Environment
Never has there been a more important time to make
an impact. Governmental and intergovernmental panels have demonstrated
their impotency in regulating human behaviour and activity affecting
climate change, as we have seen from recent governmental policy
and the failure of our representatives at the Copenhagen Protocol.
Only with action from individuals, can changes be made.
Quality incentives
- Accoustics
- better insulation means better sound-proofing.
- Comfort
- improves well-being and better lifestyle.
- Added Value to quality
