INFORMATION

So renewable energy is new to you! We have compiled some information here and our purpose is to help you make a more informed decision. It is not intended to provide every possible answer to every possible question.

We recommend that you always take independent, professional, experienced advice prior to making a decision when purchasing or retrofitting your heating system.

Amongst the topics covered are:

an explanation of some general concepts of renewable energy and to explain how some of the technologies work.
we have answered a list of questions that we are frequently asked in relation to the different areas that we supply.
Another area where questions arise is the flues used for stoves and boilers, again we have dedicated a section to the building regulations in relation to flues and also a brief explanation of different flue types.
NOTE: Grants under the Greener Home Scheme are now closed! A new grant scheme called the Better Energy Homes Scheme is now operating.
We have compiled a list of the areas around the country where the sale of bituminous coals are banned, known as 'smokeless' areas.
As from May 1st 2013 a carbon tax on solid fuels applies, and we explain the origins of the tax, and it's implications for you.
