If an energy provider has over 250,000 customers they are obliged to charge their customers a small amount of ‘Green Tax’ which is added onto the customers bill. This money is then kept aside to reinvest into the UK economy to help with carbon emissions. By having more sufficient insulation, renewable central heating and solar you are heavily reducing your properties impact on the environment.

Heat pumps use environmental energy to generate heating and hot water for your home. This works by extracting thermal energy (heat) from the air, ground or a local water source, which is then converted by a heat pump to generate heating and hot water for your home.
Heat pumps operate by collecting heat through an external collector system – pipes containing liquid filled with anti-freeze – to transfer heat from the ambient temperature. Due to the composition of the liquid, it will always be a lower temperature than outdoors, meaning the heat is transferred into the liquid. It is then passed through to the second cycle, where heat is absorbed into refrigerant and turned into vapour. Once it reaches the compressor, that is turned into steam, raising the temperature to a level usable in your home.
In a well-insulated home, less warm air escapes from the house during the winter, and less cool air escapes during the summer, reducing the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling.
Insulation has a typical lifespan of 20-30 years so you have confidence that your home is going to be protected for a very long time.
Depending on your property size and how many walls need to be insulated, to fully install insulation and plaster in to your home can take anywhere between 2 to 5 days.
After your insulation board is professionally installed, our installers will lay a smooth coat of plaster over your walls for a nice and neat finish. After this has happened, you will be able to decorate to your liking.
