Renewables for everyone (no matter what your income)

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

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.

Renewables – Enhanced Captial Allowances

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

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.

Why is my Carbon Footprint Important? Can I reduce it and save money?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Carbon Crazy?

The words ‘Carbon Footprint’ seem to have been on everything in 2007. In 2008 it’s set to get even bigger.

But, ever wondered exactly what it means for you?

What is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon that a person, company or household produces in a year. Your home is usually the largest contributor to your carbon footprint, on average it is responsible for over 6 tonnes of Co2 emissions each year.

What are Co2 emissions?

Co2 is a gas called carbon dioxide. It is a green house gas that contributes to global warming and defines your carbon footprint. We are all responsible for Co2 emissions in a number of ways, from the exhaust of your car to the coal power station that generates your electricity.

How can I reduce my Carbon footprint?

There are many things we can all do to minimise our personal impact on the environment. This could be as simple as avoiding long haul flights or improving the insulation in your home. Intelligent Energy Solutions install a range of household Co2 reducing technologies, making it as easy as possible for you to make a big difference.
These systems include
- Solar Panels Water Heating and Solar PhotoVoltaic
- Wind Turbines
- Heat Pumps

I’ve heard these systems are expensive?

No, the benefits outweigh the cost significantly. Fully installed systems start from around £3000. Grants are also available that will cover up to 50% of the installation cost. Not only will such a system reduce your carbon footprint but it will also cut the cost of your energy bills year after year.

Will the installation create a lot of mess?

Many installations will create no mess and no fuss. The installer often only requires access to your property for a day or two.

Why should I bother?

Energy bills are increasing. By installing a system you can significantly reduce your monthly outgoings. Everyday that passes you waste money by not harnessing the free energy that is around us all.
Global warming is not going to go away. Saving the planet is a key government priority. Environmental taxes are already in place, with more to come.

Who should I contact for advice?

Intelligent Energy Solutions is based in the heart of the Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire. From the East Midlands we cover the whole of central England. We are happy to offer free advice and no obligations quotations. Please Call or e-mail for a chat about your needs.
