HEAT PUMPSHeat pumps are the environmental solution to gas flue and boiler emissions. They use electricity to heat your home but in a much more efficient manner than traditional storage heaters. Heat pumps are 325-400% efficient. This means that they emit up to 4 times fewer emissions than gas or storage heaters and they are cheaper to run.
Heat pumps cost between £11-16k to install, depending on the complexity, product and size of the home. Energy savings will depend on your current heating type and energy tariff. Heat pumps should be around a third of the cost to run of storage heaters and will save up to 20% compared to gas. There are two types of heat pumps available:
Savings and subsidies Until March 2022, there are large Government subsidies available to encourage the uptake of heat pumps - the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). Householders, communities and businesses can earn up to £12,500 in subsidies over seven years to finance their heat pump install. |

SOLAR PANELSSolar panels used to be a very quick win for both home owners and community groups alike (including schools, leisure centres etc…). Community energy groups such as CREW would help fund the up-front costs, and then you could pay back the costs through the savings in energy bills/income from selling excess energy back into the grid. Unfortunately, since consecutive cuts to the Feed in Tariff (FiT) which guaranteed a higher price for solar panel owners to sell excess energy back to the grid, it’s become harder for solar panels to pay themselves off.
However, all is not lost if you’re a community group/local business – we will do an energy assessment to work out the potential for a profitable/cost neutral solar power system.
The bigger your roof, the greater energy generating capacity you will have, and the more likely it is for us to identify a cost-effective solution. We will never advise you to opt for a solar system if it is not cost effective for you. We will then help finance the installation and you can pay us back through the savings on your bills. We installed solar panels on Islington Sea Cadets building and are currently carrying out feasibility studies on nine schools in Wandsworth. |

LED LIGHTINGLED lights are on average 90% more efficient than conventional bulbs, and still more efficient and more effective than energy-saving light bulbs. By switching all your bulbs over to LEDs you can save 90% on your lighting bills and greatly reduce your energy demand.
LEDs are a low-cost, easily installed measure that can make a big impact quickly. Replacing your lighting can also have benefits from improved lighting of your building, leading to improvements in wellbeing. Lights are sourced directly from LED suppliers, you will hold the warranty on the bulbs, and we have a trusted electrician who will do all necessary installation including replacing light fittings as required. We have installed LEDs at the Doddington and Rollo Community Association and Devas Club, helping them save significantly on their bills. |

HYDROMX HEAT TRANSFER FLUID
Making heating/cooling systems more efficient
Hydromx is perfect for your radiator or air conditioning systems in your home/business. A revolutionary fluid that uses nano-particles suspended in a stable state, it increases the speed of heat transfer in the water in your system (e.g. the water in your radiators), reaching required temperatures faster, significantly reducing the energy required.
Forest Green Rovers trialled Hydromx at their football ground and saved 30% on their heating energy demand.
