Welcome to the Direct Savings Blog :-
Who are we?
We are the people who are going to save you money on your energy bills...
How?
We lower the carbon footprint of your house so that you don’t have to spend as much heating your home...
It couldn’t be simpler, here’s a picture of a house taken with a camera that detects heat...
The red areas are where heat is escaping through your windows and loft, the yellow areas are where heat is escaping through your walls:-
What can we do to keep you warm?
Well, we can organise one of our Energy Surveyors to inspect your house free of charge, they can look at your :-
Walls - Has your house ever had Cavity wall insulation?
- If it has then you’re already set, it only needs done once...
- If not then we can organise it for you...
- If your not sure then we can check for you as, not all houses are suitable for Cavity wall insulation, our surveyors will let you know though
Windows - Even with the latest double glazing technology as you can see from the picture above, a lot of heat is still lost through the windows.
- We can insulate your windows using “In’Flector” blinds, for more information click here...
Loft - Loft insulation is the simplest way to prevent loss of heat as warm air rises through your ceiling, the
man made mineral fibre insulation we install stops the heat from escaping and keeps your home warmer for longer using less energy
- Our accredited fitters not only insulate between your joists, but also add another layer of insulation to stop heat escaping up the spaces next to the joists, so even less heat is lost
Even more savings!
Normally your home is heated using radiators as part of the central heating system, this heats the air that circulates through your home, we have technology which improves on this by heating a room using far infra red technology so that all the objects in the room are heated then radiate to warm the room, this is called Infra’nomic heating [link]
How much is this going to cost me?
Well there’s good news about that...
Every UK homeowner is entitled to a grant between 75% and 100% towards home insulation. This was set up by the government which formed the “Energy savings Trust” as part of a government initiative to lower the carbon footprint of Britain’s homes.
This funding comes indirectly from the government through the country’s biggest utility companies in the form of a grant; Direct Savings is one of the very few companies in the UK that can offer these funds as part of our service
You can Qualify for a 100% Grant (FREE!) if you are on any of the below:
