Solar panels, heat pumps, boiler upgrade scheme & ECO4 grant funding
eco technology
save energy & save money!
Over the last few years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of 'green' residential and commercial building projects carried out by alltrades in Narberth.
Whilst this is partly due to a greater awareness of the impact our modern lives have on the environment, it is much more a consequence of spiralling energy costs and, in no small part, the availability of capital grant funding for projects that will reduce carbon emissions (jump to eco grant funding below to find out more )
For more information about any of the energy-saving home improvements outlined on this page, call the engineers at alltrades in Narberth for an informal chat.

solar panels
harness the power of nature
Installing solar PV panels on your home is now more important, and cheaper, than ever before.
In light of a growing global energy crisis, predictions are that we will all be paying in excess of 50p per kWh for electricity from the national grid by the end of 2027. On a much more positive note however, solar PV panel technology is now significantly more efficient, and far less costly to install, than it was just ten years ago.
Battery technology has similarly improved, and become more affordable. . . with grants available to cover up to 65% of the total system cost!

boiler replacement
boiler upgrade scheme funding
Older heating boilers can be as little as 60% efficient. . . meaning that almost half of the electricity, gas or oil that you pay for is wasted! A modern, high efficient boiler will get up to 90% heat energy out of the fuel it uses, drastically reducing your heating bills and minimising carbon emissions.
In Wales, the government is providing grants to encourage the installation of low carbon heating systems through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). . . designed to help property owners overcome the upfront cost of low carbon heating technologies.
Homeowners and private tenants can get their old, inefficient boilers replaced completely free of charge, or have the cost of a replacement heavily subsidised, even if you're claiming other grants or funding (such as for solar panels, insulation or triple glazing ).

heat pumps
efficient air source heating
Because of its efficiency, and the availability of grants to offset capital cost, we recommend exploring the advantages of installing an Air Source Heat Pump.
These devices take heat from the outside air, increases its temperature by applying compression, then transfers the resulting energy into your home to provide heating and hot water.
Air source heat pumps are far more efficient than traditional heating systems like oil or gas boilers, meaning you can use less energy to achieve the same level of heat, further reducing your carbon footprint.

funding options
for energy saving home improvements
In line with the UK Goverment's commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, the Energy Compliance Obligation (ECO) has, since March 2022, is now in its fourth iteration. . . ECO 4.
As a consequence, there is grant funding totalling some £1 Billion per year available for 'green' home improvement projects including; solar panel installation, boiler replacement, cavity wall and loft insulation, external solid wall insulation and low-energy loss triple glazing.

There are also several local grant initiatives, such as Warm Home Wales, which could apply to your project.
For businesses in Pembrokeshire: The Carbon Reduction Fund is a business grant scheme, operated by Pembrokeshire County Council, which provides capital support to businesses for the installation of renewable energy systems at their business premises.
For details of this and other local funds, visit; Solŵr Wales.
