Providing a range of grand funded energy efficient measures across North Wales & Cheshire
A variety of heating types, insulation types and renewable technology grants are available under the eco scheme. Click here to see more information on what's offered.
The type of documents we would need to progress your application would be a photo ID, Utility bill, tenancy agreements, proof of income and some documents filled in and signed. The exact documents we would require is dependent on the occupant's circumstances.
The energy company obligation scheme is running until March 2026 and all measures will need to be installed before this date.
The application process can be split into five different stages. Enquiry, Booking, Technical survey, Installation, and handover. Head over to our process stage to read more.
This varies from person to person, but we generally aim to provide an answer within a week of the initial survey.
All measures installed in your property would be yours! There is not a minimum amount of time you must stay in the property in the property once the energy efficient measures are installed.
The efficiency of an air source heat pump is measured by its coefficient of performance (COP). The coefficient of performance is the ratio of the heat output to the energy input, and it varies depending on the temperature outside.
A coefficient of performance of 3.5 means that for every 1 unit of electricity consumed, 3.5 units of heat energy are generated. The coefficient of performance of our Air source heat pumps is 3.5.
An air source heat pump can be connected to a hot water cylinder (unvented cylinder)to heat the water for domestic use. The cylinder can also be heated using electricity directly if the ASHP is switched off.
Radiators for an air source heat pump (ASHP) need to be bigger than those of traditional heating systems such as gas because air source heat pumps run at a lower temperature and therefore require more surface area to transfer the same amount of heat to the room.
The air source heat pump comes with a seven-year manufactures warranty and a two-year quality mark guarantee.
Yes, the high heat retention storage heaters can be turned off.
High heat retention storage heaters come with a two-year quality mark guarantee, as well as a 5-yearmanufacturer's warranty with a conditional extra warranty of 7 years additional to the 5 years.
The finished product takes approximately 100mm off the wall. In some instances, we can thin the insulation down where the thick insulation may cause issues e.g. When opening and shutting doors.
We will take any of the treated walls up to a plastered finish. Anything that has been removed e.g. Skirting boards, window sills, electrics and plumbing. Will be re installed or replaced. Covings will not be replaced generally, and window sills will be replaced with MDF sills only.
All habitable rooms of a dwelling must be insulated. The only rooms that are exempt are wet rooms.
The internal wall insulation comes with a 25-year quality mark protection guarantee.
100mm on gable walls or party walls, 100mm on masonry dwarf walls, 300mm on studwork dwarf walls, 67mm on the slopes, 300mm in flat ceiling if accessible, 67mm if the flat roof is inaccessible and 300mm in residual crawl space.

Room in roof insulation comes with a 25-year quality mark guarantee.
The cavity wall insulation comes with a 25-year CIGA guarantee.
As long as there are no pre-existing issues with the walls, cavity wall insulation installed correctly will not cause any issues.
Properly installed cavity wall insulation will not cause damp or mould. However, if your building already has a damp or mould problem, it is important to address this issue before installing insulation.
Generally, the horror stories you here about are caused by the old-style cavity wall insulation which has a similar texture to loft insulation. If any water was to get in the cavity, the insulation would absorb any moisture and bridge the moisture and cause damp issues internally.
Therma beads do not have any sort of absorption properties. If any water was to get into the cavity, it would drain through the bead to the bottom of the cavity, just as if the Therma beads were not there.
If additional insulation is desired, you will either need to remove the boards then re-install them once we have installed the loft insulation, let us install on top of the boards or we can attempt to try and install the right amount of insulation underneath the existing boards.
Loft insulation comes with a two-year guarantee.
Rockwool insulation is used.
This is dependent on the thickness of the floor joist.
Underfloor insulation comes with a twenty-five-year quality mark guarantee.
No, any excess electricity produced will be sent back to the grid with no payment.
A solar PV system will not completely cover the cost of most dwellings electricity bills but will reduce them.
The number of panels a dwelling receives will be dependent on the initial assessment of the dwelling.
Brackets are fixed to the rafters of the roof and then rails are fixed to the brackets which the panels fit on to.
This depends on the number of panels we can install and the amount of electricity they generate throughout the year.
Solar comes with a two-year quality mark guarantee and the inverters come with a five-year warranty.
There are no grants for these under the ECO4 scheme, however, we can offer these privately.
