Solar Panels
Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into usable electricity in the home.
There are many benefits of having Solar PV Panels installed on your property:
• They can help lower your electricity bills.
• They help to cut your carbon footprint and help the environment.
Prior to your homes insulation upgrade a home ventilation assessment is required to ensure adequate ventilation is present in the property. The funding includes the cost for the ventilation requirements.
Ventilating your home will improve health
Day-to-day household activities like cooking, showering, drying clothes indoors and even breathing, all create moisture in the air.
Moisture in the air will travel throughout the house and condense on the coldest surface. This can lead to common issues such as condensation and mould, which in turn can damage the building fabric (e.g. insulation).
Controlled ventilation can improve indoor air quality through reducing the build-up of carbon monoxide, dust mites, and other pollutants. Poor indoor air quality can exacerbate existing health conditions (primarily respiratory) and cause new ones.
New extractor fans may need to be installed into any wet room, such as Kitchens, Bathrooms/Shower rooms. This provides a great opportunity for us to help you ensure that your property remains dry and well ventilated, and to give you the tools to maintain good indoor air quality all year round.
These extractor fans will either be fitted in place of existing units (if they are not sufficient) or if new, to the ceiling or through the walls by a fully qualified electrician. The final decision as to the exact location of each vent will be made on the day, and as part of the installation or warranty an installer will remediate and make good where necessary.
Regarding other habitable rooms, such as Living/Dining rooms and Bedrooms, it is also important that there is sufficient ventilation within these rooms. From the ventilation survey, this may identify the need for further background ventilation, this can be by way of trickle vents in windows, extractor grids in walls or ceilings, room vents located in external walls, or small door undercuts.
