SGS can provide professional advice to help you save money on your energy bills and how to make your home more energy efficient.
By asking questions like these, we can recommend the latest energy efficient solutions to help your home run more efficiently:
There are so many ways to save energy in your home, some can be done by making simple and small changes such as switching lights off when you leave the room, taking shorter showers for example, but to make a real difference to your energy bills you may want to consider solutions like these:
SGS are an accredited MCS member and EPVS registered, so you can rest assured that we’re qualified to help you choose the Solar PV solution that’s right for you.
Generating renewable energy with Solar solutions (Solar PV) can help you save money on your energy bills and give you a long term greener future. Even greater energy savings can be had if you couple your Solar PV with:
Some batteries are suitable for use even when you don’t have solar panels. They’re designed to store energy from the grid during the cheapest “off-peak” times of day, so you can power your home for less at peak times of the day when the cost would usually be at it’s highest.
The majority of homes use the least amount of electricity during the day, because that’s when most homes stand empty. Unfortunately, this also happens to be when solar panels generate the most amount of energy, energy which is often not fully utilised. By adding a battery to a solar PV system, you can store any excess energy captured during the day, then you can switch to battery power at night when your solar panels are no longer able to draw energy from the sun.
As part of the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target, air source heat pumps are fast becoming a popular and affordable solution to heating homes in the UK.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme* is a government incentive to assist with the upfront costs of replacing fossil fuel heating systems with a heat pump or biomass boiler (*check if you’re eligible).
Until 31st March 2027, there is NO VAT on renewable energy products, which includes heat pumps, so there’s never been a better time to install an Air Source Heat Pump.
Old boilers, especially ones that are over 10 years old, perform much less efficiently than their modern counterparts. An older boiler can waste as much as 40% of the energy it produces, meaning it’s only 60% efficient (equivalent to a G rating). In simple terms it has to work much harder to produce the same amount of energy, which costs you more money in the long run.
We work with some of the most trusted and reliable brands in the industry, Worcester Bosch, Glow Worm, Vaillant and others, so we can offer you a range of A-rated energy efficient boilers that are designed to operate at 90% efficiency, or more.
When was the last time you had your boiler or heating system serviced? We highly recommend an annual boiler service, to make sure it’s working safely and efficiently. If you have a new or recently installed boiler, it may also be a requirement of your boiler warranty.
Overtime, debris and dirt can build up within your boiler causing blockages and damage, as a result your boiler will no longer be able to operate efficiently. It has to work harder to produce the same amount of heat, which uses more energy and costs you more money.
If it’s been more than twelve months, contact us now to book your boiler service.
Believe it or not, old wiring can cause higher energy bills. If you experience regular flickering lights, blown fuses or your system trips completely, it may be time for an electrical inspection. SGS electrical engineers are NICEIC registered and are therefore qualified to carry out electrical safety checks and re-wiring.
