Make sustainability your New Year’s resolution!
This new year Solitaire is putting the NEW into reNEWables! We often make New Year’s resolutions at this time of year such as trying not to eat so much chocolate or finally going to the gym but why not make sustainability your goal for 2024?
Solitaire is a registered renewables installer and we have been professionally serving Essex for close to a decade.
Going green may seem great but surely it must be quite expensive. Don’t be so sure! There are many benefits to switching to renewable heating:
- Reduce your home’s carbon footprint
- Cut energy bills
- Improve your home’s comfort
- Safeguard against rising fuel prices
- Comfortably meet Modern Building Regulations
- Raise your property value
Reduced Carbon Footprint
You can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint by changing from a gas or oil-powered heating system to a clean renewable energy source. These traditional non-renewable fuels release large amounts of carbon dioxide contributing to climate change and harming the planet. However, heat pumps take heat from the air, ground or water producing very little emissions.
Cut your energy bills
Do you want to reduce your energy bills? Of course, you do, especially with gas and oil prices fluctuating rapidly. You can save up to 30% on your energy bills! While the initial investment in a renewable heat pump may seem substantial, the long-term cost savings are worthwhile. These heating systems require less energy to operate than traditional heating systems therefore, homeowners can save on energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps are far more energy efficient than traditional heating services and can even generate up to 3 times more heat than the electricity they consume. Whereas boilers usually run at a maximum efficiency of 85%, heat pumps can operate at up to 300%. This greatly reduces the amount of energy you consume and therefore helps lower your energy bills.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What’s even better than saving money? Not paying at all! The boiler upgrade scheme grants give homeowners a grant of up to £7,500 to install an air source or ground source heat pump, this was increased in October from £5,000. This is a government scheme designed to support homeowners to pay for the cost of installing low-carbon heating systems.
To make things even better for a limited time only we are offering an additional £2,500 to increase the grant to £10,000!
Furthermore, a 0% VAT has been announced by the government on the installation of heat pumps. This will lower installation costs even further.
Low Maintenance & long lifespan
Generally, heat pumps require little maintenance due to their simpler design and fewer moving parts. However, we recommend that you have your heat pump serviced every year to make sure it is running at maximum efficiency. Furthermore, a good quality heat pump can have a lifespan of more than 20 years!
Air Source Heat Pumps
An air source heat pump generates heat by absorbing heat from the outside air to heat your home and hot water. Learn more: https://solitairegrp.com/air-source-heat-pump-installation-maldon
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) use pipes that are buried in your garden to extract heat from the ground. This heat can then be used to heat radiators, underfloor or warm air heating systems and hot water in your home. Learn more: https://solitairegrp.com/ground-source-heat-pumps
Solar Assisted Heat Pumps
A solar-assisted heat pump is a heat pump merged with a solar collector. They absorb heat directly from the sun and heat from the outside air which is stored inside a solar collector. Learn more: https://solitairegrp.com/solar-assisted-heat-pump-installation-maldon
