Renewable Energy
Working on a
sustainable future
Sustainable energy refers to a way we can
use and generate energy that is more efficient and less harmful to
the environment. Most of the energy we use today is generated by
fossil fuels and these are finite resources, eventually will run out
and therefore not sustainable. Be more efficient
We have to change our ways regarding
energy consumption. We can do this by being more efficient in how we
use energy and by implementing renewable energy systems, Wood pellet
boilers, solar panels or tubes or heat pumps – AND DON’T FORGET THE
BASICS!! – INSULATION (see our separate insulation department) Save the environment
One of the main benefits of using
renewable energy is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
Changing our ways and installing innovative heating solutions will
reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gases and our reliance on
expensive fossil fuels. Thereby saving the environment. Start saving Money
How much you can save depends on the
chosen solution, whether a wood pellet, solar system or other option
the running cost of heating your house or business can be reduced
and this saving can be as high as 70% according to recent
calculation models. The
annual cost of heating a building mainly depends on:
Fuel price
- Fuel energy
content
- Temperature
levels maintained
- Duration of
heating
- Weather
conditions
- Levels of
insulation and draught sealing
- Seasonal
efficiency of the heating system
How much
you actually can save is different for each house and depends
totally on your situation. A new house or old, well-insulated or
not, the level of warmth that is comfortable for you and how much
hot water you use are only a few issues that need to be assessed
before you know how much you can save. But there is no doubt that
Renewable Energy will save you money. DON’T
KNOW WHERE TO START? If you bring us in your plans we will provide you
with recommendations on: Insulation (regulations and recommendations for floor, walls, & attic), and
Renewable Energy options,
