Roof room insulation

Installing room in roof insulation involves insulation boarding being fitted in between the rafters underneath the existing plasterboard walls. Room in roof insulation works by trapping heat within your home to create a blanket effect. This allows you to more easily maintain a warm home without using as much energy to do so, saving you money on your energy bills.

External or internal wall Insulation

External wall solutions comprise of an insulation layer fixed to the existing wall, with a protective render or decorative finish. Dry cladding offers a wide range of finishes such as timber panels, stone or clay tiles, brick slips or aluminium panels. Internal wall insulation involves the application of insulation to the interior face of external walls in order to improve the thermal performance of the property. There are four main methods of installation — the most common (but not always the most effective) is building a new stud wall, to which insulation can be added.

Solar water heating

Solar water heating systems, or solar thermal systems, use free heat from the sun to warm water. Solar water heating systems capture heat from sunlight via a solar thermal collector – a low-profile box with a similar appearance to a solar photovoltaic panel that sits on your building’s roof, or in an open area that receives ample sunlight.

Solar photovoltaic panels

Solar panels produce electricity by converting sunlight into a direct current (DC) which passes into an inverter. The inverter converts this DC electricity into usable electricity for your home or commercial building. Solar PV panels offer a number of advantages beyond solar water heating. Due to their simpler design – solar photovoltaic panels have no moving parts – they need little long-term maintenance.

Air or ground source heat pumps

The air source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air into a liquid refrigerant at a low temperature. Using electricity, the pump compresses the liquid to increase its temperature. It then condenses back into a liquid to release its stored heat. Heat is sent to your radiators or underfloor heating. A ground source heat pump transfers heat from the ground into buildings. Radiation from the sun heats the earth. The earth then stores the heat and maintains, just two metres or so down, a temperature of around 10°C even throughout the winter.

Exemptions for Landlords

Are you a landlord? Great news, there are a number of situations where you may be able to claim exemptions (or identify funding solutions) from the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) Regulations – which set a minimum energy efficiency level for domestic private rented properties.

The Regulations apply to all domestic private rented properties that are let on specific types of tenancy agreement or legally required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

Exemptions must be registered on the central PRS Exemptions Register and even more great news, we are experts in supporting landlords through the full exemptions process starting with your MEES Compliance Report.

What exemptions are there?

As a landlord, some of the exemptions for which you may qualify are:

  • High cost exemption
  • Wall insulation exemption
  • Third party consent exemption
  • Property devaluation exemption
  • Temporary exemption due to recently becoming a landlord
  • All relevant improvements made exemption

Home Energy Grants

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a Government energy efficiency scheme that aims to reduce carbon emissions by fitting energy-saving measures. In addition to ECO, there are several other options that we can help you apply for under the Government’s “Help to Heat” schemes.

We can also help you find local authority grants i.e., ECO4 Flex, which you may be eligible for.

Homeowners, landlords or tenants can receive thousands towards achieving the listed EPC recommendations. To be eligible, you must be in receipt of some form of benefits or tax credit.

Simple energy saving tips

Being aware of your day-to-day actions and habits can help to reduce your energy consumption. Here are some of the most simple, yet impactful changes you can make to help save your money and protect our environment.

The savings indicated are on a ‘per year’ basis.

Open your curtains

Keeping curtains open on sunny days to attract natural warmth into your home.

No more standby

Leaving appliances on standby wastes energy – switching them off at the plug could save you £35 a year.

Use a cooler laundry setting

Washing your clothes at 30º could save you more than £20 a year.

Be careful with that cuppa

When you’re making a hot drink, boil only the water you need – this could save you £6 a year.

Take shorter showers

Taking just 1 minute less in the shower can save you at least £17 a year.

Close your curtains

Retaining heat in your home is easy, by closing your curtains at dusk.

Turn down the thermostat

Turning your thermostat down by just 1ºC can save a whopping £55 a year.

Fill it up

Only using your dishwasher and washing machine when they have a full load will help you save.

The standard government EPC uses different calculations for energy and CO2 savings.  The Vibrant savings are updated every quarter and reflect current energy prices.  Retrofit recommendations are also calculated differently and are regularly updated to ensure they are closer to current installer prices.


I understand, let's go

Additional measures you may want to consider.

This measure will not contribute to your potential energy rating improvement as it is not currently recognised in the government EPC database.

The costs are calculated by Vibrant and updated twice a year to better reflect installer prices.
