The worst is yet to come

by Leave a comment

The reality about the cost of living squeeze really hit home last week.  Just look at the media headlines

•    Households will be in “Deep Peril”
•    The coming storm as central banks fight inflation will be far worse than anyone expects
•    Tesco boss says the worst is yet to come
•    Cost of living crisis could delay retirement plans

What can I do to help? 🤔

1.  UW are the only energy supplier who guarantee to be cheaper than the price cap – now and in April

2.  UW have the cheapest variable energy in the country, which will cut £100 off the average energy bill from April 

3.  UW are the only company guaranteeing to save people that amount. 

4.  UW have the cheapest fixed energy tariff in the country

5.  So prospective customers can choose between the best fixed and the best variable – it’s entirely up to them and we don’t advise either way.

Always happy to help 😀

Green Homes Grant Scheme

by Leave a comment

Adding Smart Heating Controls to your home will help you manage your heat more effectively, save you money and make your home more energy efficient.

If you’re a homeowner or residential landlord you can now apply for a £5000 Green Homes Grant voucher (up to £10,000 for low income households) towards the cost of installing energy efficient improvements to your home including  heating controls such as Inspire Home Automation’s Ignite Smart Thermostats.

You can apply directly for the grant, but it needs to be performed by an accredited installer.

Primary measures
The voucher must be used to install at least 1 primary measure. This can be an insulation measure and/or a low carbon heating measure.

Insulation measures covered by the voucher

  • solid wall insulation (internal or external)
  • cavity wall insulation
  • under-floor insulation (solid floor, suspended floor)
  • loft insulation
  • flat roof insulation
  • pitched roof insulation
  • room in roof insulation
  • insulating a park home

Low carbon heating measures covered by the voucher:

  • air source heat pump
  • ground source heat pump
  • solar thermal (liquid filled flat plate or evacuated tube collector)
  • biomass boiler
  • hybrid heat pump

Secondary measures

If you install at least 1 primary measure, your voucher can then be used to help cover the cost of  a secondary measure which includes heating controls.

An Inspire Home Automation Ignite Thermostat has geofencing enabled. This turns down your heating when your home is empty but then starts turning up the heat when you’re coming home. Our fully customisable system enables you to create 4 different programs for the time of year and set up schedules to suit, daily, weekdays/weekends or a different temperature setting for each day of the week.
