What we do

There are a number of energy efficient improvements we can carry out to make your home warmer, healthier and cheaper to run.

Insulation

To reduce both your energy costs and carbon footprint, the most effective method for minimising heat loss, particularly in an older house, is to install insulation.

Quality insulation can help cut your bills – and achieve a warm, inviting and cosy home. It:

Home Energy Experts offer a range of insulation solutions that covers various areas in your property, including:

We can assist in securing fully funded government grants to support the cost of upgrading your home’s insulation, allowing you to enjoy the excellent, energy efficient benefits at no expense.

Solar PV​

Solar electricity panels, known as photovoltaics (PV), stores the energy from the sun and converts it into electricity that you can use in your home.

By installing solar panels, you can generate your own renewable electricity, which in turn enables you to receive payments for extra energy you generate but do not use.

A solar panel is constructed by many cells created from layers of a semi-conducting material, typically silicon. When the sun shines on this a flow of electricity is generated. The stronger the direct sunlight the more electricity is gathered.

Unshaded, south facing roofs are ideal for maximum electrical output. However, solar panels will generate even if they are not facing south, it just won’t be as much.

Solar panels give you guaranteed power when the sun is shining – providing a consistent, stable form of generation throughout the day. After they’ve been installed, solar panels need little to no maintenance – just occasional cleaning to keep them clear of dirt and debris.

Solar panels don’t create any noise pollution while generating electricity. This means that installations aren’t intrusive – whether they’re in crowded urban locations or quiet rural ones.

Solar panels are very safe. They’re mostly made from silicon sheets, and there’s no danger of the photovoltaic cells leaking or emitting any toxins or fumes.

Battery storage creates the opportunity to save excess energy gathered from the solar panels, enabling homeowners to pay for cheap electricity at night while using the stored energy during the day.

Battery storage systems create an opportunity to provide national grid balancing services and wholesale electricity trading, while providing a useful back-up in the event of a power cut.

These devices were made possible thanks to smart meters and energy companies being able to monitor electricity imports and exports, allowing for tariffs to be created where homeowners can pay different rates for electricity depending on the time of day.

Air Source Heat Pumps

A heat pump is a low carbon footprint heating option. It uses electricity to collect heat from outside in order to circulate it around your home.

The heat circulating your home from a heat pump is much more efficient than just electrical energy used to power the system.

Home Energy Experts offer you the opportunity of having an air source heat pump, sometimes referred to as an air-to-water source heat pump, which is the most common type of domestic heat pump.

It transfers heat from outside air to water. This heats your room via radiators or underfloor heating.

Air source heat pumps can also heat water that is stored in a hot water cylinder, for hot taps, showers and baths.

Heat pumps can offer significant energy savings and reduce carbon emissions compared to more traditional heating and cooling systems. For instance, the efficiency of a heat pump versus a combi boiler can be up to four times higher. However, a heat pump’s efficiency can vary depending on a number of factors, including the specific model, operating conditions and the local climate.
