The products
At EcoQualify, we help you access a comprehensive range of energy efficiency measures tailored to your home’s specific needs. Our goal is to ensure your home is warm, energy-efficient, and cost-effective by connecting you with expert installers through the ECO4 scheme. Here are the key measures you could benefit from:
-
Air Source Heat Pumps extract heat from the outside air and use it to heat your home and water. They are highly efficient, even in cold temperatures, and can significantly reduce your heating bills and carbon footprint.
-
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, providing a renewable energy source for your home. Installing solar panels can greatly reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources and lower your energy bills.
-
Interior wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulating material to the inside of your walls. This helps retain heat within your home, improving energy efficiency and comfort, and reducing heating costs.
-
If your home currently lacks central heating, we can install a full central heating system. This includes a new, energy-efficient boiler and radiators throughout your home, ensuring you have a reliable and efficient heating solution.
-
Properly insulating your loft is one of the most effective ways to reduce heat loss and save on energy bills. Loft insulation prevents heat from escaping through the roof, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
-
If you have a room in your loft, insulating it can enhance its comfort and usability. Room in loft insulation ensures that this space is as energy-efficient as the rest of your home, reducing heat loss and energy consumption.
-
Electric storage heaters store energy during off-peak hours and release it during the day. They are an efficient way to manage your home’s heating and can be especially beneficial if you are on an off-peak electricity tariff.
