Energy Grants & Other Incentives
EnergyLink have been helping customers to find reputable suppliers of Energy Efficient products and services in their local area since 2007.
We put customers in touch with trusted Solar PV and Solar Thermal installers, allowing them to take advantage of new Government schemes such as Feed in Tariffs (FITs) and Renewable Heat Incentives (RHIs).
We also have an excellent track record in assisting customers with Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation grants in addition to other energy-saving extras such as Double Glazing quotes and Gas & Electricity price comparisons.
Solar PV Panels (Photovoltaics)
Investing in Solar PV Panels allows you to earn a tax-free income for 25 years. Big savings can also be made on your energy bills if you can use the electricity they produce.
Thanks to Feed in Tariffs (FITs), a Solar PV system will earn payments for every unit of electricity you produce and for any surplus energy you export to the grid.
Households with a typical 2kWp domestic system will receive an average of £392 per year in FITs payments and cut their annual energy bills by around £121.
FITs payments will continue for 25 years after installation and it will take approximately 10 to 13 years to recoup the initial installation cost of a Solar PV system.
Solar PV Panels are also long-lasting, and need little maintenance. Read more about Solar PV.
Solar Thermal Panels (Hot Water)
Solar Thermal technology converts the sun’s energy into hot water. This can then be stored in a cylinder and used around the home for washing, bathing, etc.
A residential Solar Thermal Panel system allows you to make average annual savings of between £55 and £85 on your water heating bills.
From autumn 2012, homes with Solar Thermal systems will also receive payments for each unit of heat generated through the UK Government's Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). These payments will amount to around £250 per year and systems fitted now will qualify.
An RHI Premium Payment/grant of £300 is available to bridge the gap until the full Renewable Heat Incentive begins. Read more about Solar Thermal.
Loft Insulation & Cavity Wall Insulation
Having your property insulated by professional installers can dramatically reduce the level of energy required to heat your home, thus reducing your energy bills.
Installing Cavity Wall Insulation can save around £115 on annual fuel bills and cut CO2 emissions by 610kg.
Loft Insulation, is estimated to save around £150 each year in energy costs and 800kg of CO2.
If your loft merely needs its current insulation topping up to the recommended depth of 11", this could save an around £45 per year in energy costs.
Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation also make your home warm in Winter and help to cool it in Summer. Read more about Home Insulation grants.
