Shortchanging Householders
Nobody likes being shortchanged, whether that is realising after you’ve driven away from the drive thru that your order is wrong and doesn’t have the extras you asked for or being served a pint of beer with a ridiculously frothy head. When it comes to retrofit we get saddened when we hear customers have had a company to work on their property who have fitted single retrofit measures in their home. The EPC may have improved and the home may be warmer but could it have been improved further? Quite probably, yes!
Why One Size Doesn’t Fit All
When it comes to making homes more energy-efficient, many companies focus on single solutions like insulation or heating systems. These isolated measures often miss the bigger picture and still leave room for improvement. At Euro Energy Group, we believe in a whole-house approach. This means looking at every aspect of your home’s energy use to provide comprehensive solutions.
What is the ECO4 Scheme?
The ECO4 scheme is a government initiative aimed at improving home energy efficiency across the UK. Running until March 2026, it is a great opportunity for homeowners and landlords to upgrade their properties, reduce energy bills, and cut carbon emissions at no cost to themselves, meaning that they really have nothing to lose.
The Limitations of Single Solutions
Single-measure approaches, such as just adding insulation or updating a heating system, can leave other areas of your home’s energy efficiency untouched. Even though this will be helpful this piecemeal method often falls short of delivering the full potential of energy savings and comfort improvements. The reason this can be unhelpful is that any organisation looking to remedy the remaining measures alone may be insufficient to deliver big enough EPC improvements to qualify for funding.
Euro Energy Group’s Comprehensive Approach
We at Euro Energy Group offer a full suite of services to ensure your home is as energy-efficient as possible. Our offerings include:
- Internal Wall Insulation: To reduce heat loss through walls.
- Loft Insulation: To prevent heat from escaping through the roof.
- Advanced Heating Controls: For better temperature management.
- Ventilation Systems: Including DMev installations and trickle vents to improve air quality.
- Renewable Energy Solutions: Such as air source heat pumps and solar PV panels to harness clean energy.
By covering all these bases, we make sure that your home not only saves energy but also stays comfortable year-round. Something that is often overlooked is that insulation works both ways, in addition to keeping your home warm it can keep it cool in summer by keeping warm air out. If you’ve ever had a sleepless night in a hot, stuffy bedroom on a still night then you would definitely appreciate a cooler room.
Why Go for a Whole-House Approach?
- Maximise Savings: Addressing all aspects of energy use leads to greater savings.
- Enhanced Comfort: Comprehensive measures mean a more comfortable living environment.
- Boost Property Value: Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and tenants.
- Stay Compliant: Meet and exceed government energy efficiency standards.
