HOME OWNERS & PRIVATE RENTING TENANTS
It is free because of a government energy efficiency scheme, designed to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions across United Kingdom. Under the ECO4 scheme, medium and large energy suppliers have targets to meet (ECO stands for “Energy Company Obligation”) and they fund the installation of energy efficient systems in British households.
We work with energy companies in United Kingdom to find people like you who are eligible for energy efficient upgrades. We take your details and check your eligibility to this government backed scheme. There is no cost to you for using our services and it’s free to find out if you qualify or not.
Once you complete the eligibility form, a member of our team will contact you to discuss all the options available to you. You can then decide which measures you want installing; there is no obligation.
Once you’re approved, we work around you to install the measures you have chosen.
To qualify for the measures offered in the government’s ECO4 scheme you must be living in private accommodation that is for domestic use. This includes home owners and private landlord tenants. Unfortunately, these grants are not available if you live in Council or Housing Association accommodation.
To qualify for funding, someone living in the property needs to be in receipt of at least one of the benefits listed below:
• Income based Jobseekers allowance (JSA)
• Income related Employment & Support Allowance
• (ESA) Income Support (IS)
• Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
• Working Tax Credit (WTC)
• Child Tax Credits (CTC)
• Universal Credit (UC)
• Housing Benefit (new eligible benefit under ECO4)
• Pension Credit Savings Credit (new eligible benefit under ECO4)
We need to validate your eligibility to the scheme by contacting the DWP (Department for Work & Pensions) or speak to your local council in the event you don’t automatically qualify
Yes. All of the work we carry out comes with either a warranty or guarantee.
We have a national installation team, multiple branches and cover the whole of United Kingdom.
Grants mean you do not have to pay for the heating or energy efficiency measures installed. There is nothing to pay either up front or subsequently because it is done by way of a grant, not a loan.
These are given as part of the government energy efficiency scheme, designed to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions across Great Britain. Under the ECO3 and ECO4 schemes, medium and large energy suppliers have targets to meet (ECO stands for “Energy Company Obligation”) and they fund the installation of energy efficient systems in British households.
Even if you do not qualify we may be able to contact your local authority to see if an exception can be made by means of what is known as “LA Flex” (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility).
From simple measures like turning down your thermostat, to applying for heating funding, we look at four ways to save money on your heating bills.
No. Only one form is required and we can run through all of your options with you.
At UK Energy Management (NE) Ltd we offer insulation for
Solid Walls
Cavity Walls
Loft (both converted and unconverted)
Underfloor
Around ¼ of lost heat in a property is through the roof, but just 10cm of loft insulation can reduce heat loss by up to 75%! There are more benefits than this however.
There are several tell-tale signs to be on the look out for before your heating system breaks down and leaves you in trouble.
It can seem a bit strange talking about ventilation when looking to keep your home warm. However adequate ventilation is essential to improving energy efficiency as well as preventing condensation and mould growth.
When installing an airtight PVC window, the exchange of natural, projected, air is disturbed, thereby causing many problems. The comfort of life deteriorates: humidity increases, air quality deteriorates, the likelihood of a threat of fungal infections arises. Window inflow valves allow to ensure normative air supply to the window when closed, including maintaining all the advantages of PVC airtight windows.
When performing such airing, the window is opened throughout its perimeter, thereby creating draughts, sharp temperature drops, an increase in noise levels. Supply ventilation valve, performs protection against noise, ensuring the influx of air into the ceiling area, thereby preventing draught and temperature drops from occurring.
Leaving the house and leaving the window open, the level of safety of the dwelling decreases, the penetration of dust occurs, moisture enters the rain, as well as various insects fly in. In the case of closed windows, without the use of a ventilation valve, fumes of harmful substances from varnished, painted and synthetic surfaces occur in the room, especially after repairs.
EU legislation recommends ventilated rooms up to 4 times a day, which is impossible or very cumbersome. The presence of a window ventilation valve allows you to stop this forced airing in most cases, especially during winter.
If the fume tube functions normally – then not, because the removal of wet air is continuous. The humidity level indoors is reduced. Thus, there is no reason for the formation of condensate and icing of the window valve. It is not recommended to close the valve completely, as this will interfere with air exchange in the room, causing a rise in relative humidity, condensation and ice of the device during the winter period.
