What are some sustainable transportation options that can help me save money and reduce my carbon footprint?
Walking, biking, and using public transportation are all sustainable transportation options that can help you save money on fuel and car maintenance, as well as reduce your impact on the environment. Walking or biking to work is also a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while reducing transportation costs.
How much roof space do I need for solar panels?
The amount of roof space required depends on the size of the system you wish to install. Typically, a standard residential solar panel system needs about 15-20 square metres of roof space.
How often should I have my boiler serviced?
Boilers should be serviced annually by a qualified professional. This will help to prevent potential issues from occurring and prolong the lifespan of your boiler.
Is there more information about about Boiler Checks and Boiler Servicing in Leicester?
Yes. The local Online News paper, The Leicester Mercury wrote an article about it.
What is “vampire energy” and how can I save money by reducing it?
"Vampire energy" refers to the energy that electronic devices consume even when they are not being actively used. You can save money by unplugging devices when they are not in use, as this prevents them from using electricity unnecessarily and adding to your energy bill. More information can be found here: https://moralfibres.co.uk/slay-vampire-energy/
What are the consequences of not using a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer?
Using an engineer who is not Gas Safe registered to work on gas appliances is illegal and can be extremely dangerous. It puts tenants at risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosions. Additionally, it can lead to significant legal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, if an incident occurs due to improper work.
Why is my boiler making strange noises?
Strange noises can be a sign of several issues, such as trapped air, a faulty pump, or a faulty valve. It’s best to call a professional to diagnose the issue.
How much does it cost to get a smart meter?
Smart meters are usually provided to customers at no extra cost. However, you should check with your energy supplier to see if there are any charges associated with getting a smart meter.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, usually involving periodic cleaning and an annual check to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Most systems are designed to be relatively maintenance-free.
How can a programmable thermostat help me save money and be more eco-friendly?
A programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature of your home according to your schedule, so you can reduce heating or cooling when you’re away or asleep. By using a programmable thermostat, you can save up to 10% on your annual energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Can any electrician perform PAT testing, or do they need special certification?
While any qualified electrician can technically perform PAT testing, it is advisable to use an electrician who has specific training and equipment for PAT testing. Certifications in PAT testing, such as the City & Guilds 2377, indicate that the electrician has received training focused on the specific requirements and procedures of PAT testing.
How can taking shorter showers help me be more eco-friendly and economical?
Taking shorter showers reduces the amount of water you use, which in turn reduces the amount of energy needed to heat that water. This can help you save money on your water and energy bills, as well as reduce your impact on the environment.
What should I look for in a solar panel installation quote?
A comprehensive quote should include the cost of the panels, installation charges, any scaffolding that might be needed, a timeline for completion, warranty periods, and details of any after-sales service. It's wise to get multiple quotes to compare prices and services.
Do they check radiators on a boiler service?
While radiator checks are not typically included in a boiler service, a qualified engineer may be able to perform additional checks on the system if requested. Ask CRS Matrix about extending a standard service package to include checking the radiators.
What is the difference between a Gas Safety Certificate and a Gas Service?
A Gas Safety Certificate verifies that gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a property are safe to use, while a Gas Service involves checking the appliances for faults, cleaning, and ensuring they are working efficiently.
How can insulating my home help me be more eco-friendly and economical?
Insulating your home helps keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can reduce your heating and cooling needs and save you money on your energy bills. Proper insulation can also reduce air leaks and improve indoor air quality.
Do solar panels require planning permission?
In many cases, solar panel installations fall under "permitted development" and do not require planning permission, but this can vary, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings. Always check with your local planning authority.
How quickly can I get a Gas Safety Certificate?
You will receive the certificate via email from our certified engineer when the inspection is finished. This is typically within 48 hours (longer if done on the weekend). Depending on the scheduling and availability, we can examine the same day. Please note, there might be a small charge if we have to expedite outside of our normal procedures. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.
Can I fix my boiler myself?
It’s not recommended to attempt to fix your boiler yourself. Boilers are complex systems, and attempting to fix them without the proper training can be dangerous. Always call a qualified professional if you’re experiencing issues with your boiler.
