The UK government have rolled out a fantastic scheme to help homes in England live in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Under the Green Homes Grant Scheme, homeowners and landlords in England will be able to apply for vouchers worth up to two thirds of the cost of upgrading the energy efficiency of their home. For most people, the maximum contribution will be £5,000. Households on low incomes will be eligible for up to 100% funding, up to a maximum of £10,000.
This year we saw the largest decrease in carbon emissions caused by electricity globally as the world moves away from coal.
Solar panel systems provided by companies like REST have had a huge positive impact on the UK’s carbon footprint and their efforts are on going to make Britain as sustainable as possible for the future.
However, Solar panels are not included in this particular scheme the government have introduced you can ask your current energy provider for their “green” option in regards to consumer tariff. Solar is still the most efficient and sustainable way for generating your homes electricity and what’s even better is you’re able to make healthy monetary gains by selling back unused electricity to the national grid. The government will not pay you to generate free electricity as they already know you will need this more than ever in the years to come and how much money you will make and save from going solar.
However REST UK have products that will be covered by the Green Homes Scheme. One of their best selling and CO2 friendly systems that will be available to purchase is the ASHP (Air source heat pump)
ASHP’s have quickly become a consumer favourite not only due to its eco-friendly output but also because it is the safest way to heat your water and heating. With 0 carbon monoxide production it eliminates the risk of gas explosion and oil spills. With no groundwork’s required in your property to install it also takes up very little space in your home.
REST mostly stock two of the industries best quality and known ASHP’s. The LG Therma V R32 Monobloc1 ™ and Mitsubishi ultra quiet Ecodan™ however can also provide most other brand but only work with the BEST.
Another REST service that is also backed by this scheme is Spray foam insulation. Now is a better time than ever to have your home insulated, as the government will fund the application. REST use Icynene™ who is the market leaders in insulation.
Icynene doesn’t just insulate; it creates a superior air barrier compared to traditional insulation like fiberglass. When it is sprayed into the wall cavity, it expands to fill the space, regardless of the size or shape. That includes cracks and crevices that other insulations could not easily fill.
