For anyone who is keen on renewable energy, but at a loss where to start, Intelligent Energy Solutions has the answer. It has launched a series of easy to complete self survey forms for all of the technologies they offer.

The purpose of the self survey forms is to enable the customer to understand the important factors when asking for a quotation for a renewable energy installation. The information provided can be used to generate a detailed quotation from IES without the need for a site visit. This means that IES can keep the installation costs down, and the customer has a better understanding of what’s involved. If a price is quoted that later (due to a site visit) cannot be honoured, the customer will have the option of having their deposit refunded.

The forms are in PDF format with interactive form features. As such, the form can be filled out and returned on line or the customer can print and complete the form manually.

The forms are accessed by the Intelligent Energy Solutions VIP area. Fill out the enquiry form or pick up the phone to obtain login details. This area of the site also contains pricing and lots of other useful information.

Many of our customers tell us that they are interested in renewable energy, but unsure which technology is right for them. As a result of this, are team at Intelligent Energy Solutions has launched a brand new web based renewable energy decision tool. This will allow all of our potential customers to quickly and easily determine which technology is right for them.

The tool can be found at the following link.
Solar, Wind, Heat Pump, Rainwater Harvesting – Which is right for me?

This intelligent, but user friendly tool, consists of 14 simple questions that most homeowners will be able to answer easily. The software engine behind that tool will then produce a tailored report that tells you which technology/s are most appropriate for your property. The generated reports can be applied to both commercial and domestic properties. The report, if appropriate, also makes comments about your existing fuel and insulation levels.

We think we have made the task of navigating through the complex world of renewable energy simple and straightforward. We hope you agree.

The tool is currently undergoing testing. If you find any problems or have any suggestions please feed your comments back so we can make the tool even better.

Wireless Energy / Electricity Monitor
Intelligent Energy solutions are now supplying the OWL wireless energy monitor.  Everyone thinking about their energy bills should have one!

This clever little gadget monitors your electricity usage in real time and displays the usage on a compact wireless portable display.

Easy to Install
The unit is simple to install. Fit the batteries (included) in the monitor and clip a large peg over one of the meter cables by your electricity meter. This unit then automatcially transmits wirelessly to the display.

Save 25% off your electricity bill
The display tells you how much electricity you are using at any given time. Even if you just switch on a 100W light bulb the system immediately tells you that you are using 100W more than you were. It also tells you the cost of doing this. What surprises most people is that when they switch ‘everything’ off they are still using some electricity. The challenge is then to work out which ‘hidden’ appliances are still drawing electricity and modify how you use them.

The manufacturer says that it will save you 25% off your electricity bill.

The system tells you:-

1. The rate at which you are using electricity in Kilowatts.
2. The cost of the electricity you are currently using
3. The Co2 emmissions of the electricity you are using
4. Temperature of your home
5. Humidity of your home

Here at Intelligent Energy Solutions we are passionate about the idea of renewable energy solutions for everyone.  However, in the last few years the investment cost has been relatively high, and to make this kind of outlay the owner needs to take a long term strategic view. This type of approach unfortunately is often not suitable for those with lower incomes.  And of course, these would be just the sort of people who would benefit the most from savings on their energy bills. 

With the advent of more and more grants this will hopefully become less of an issue.  This type of technology could then be available for everyone, particularly those that who need it most.

Why should businesses invest in renewable energy?

Very simple – to save money.

In 2001, the government introduced the enhanced capital allowances scheme to encourage businesses to invest in low carbon technologies.

In essence the scheme means that companies who invest in certain energy saving technologies can claim 100% of the cost against the profit for that year.

Capital allowance for plant and machinery is normally only 20% each year. So if you chose to buy an energy efficient heat pump instead of a conventional boiler you would save a considerable amount in tax.  This could equate to over 30% of the value of the heat pump.

If you think this sounds like something you would be interested in we would suggest talking to your own accountant.  You can also give us a call about an energy solution suitable for your business.
