Priory Homes are
developing some of the first private housing developments in the
UK to include the latest in energy-efficient Heat Pump technology.
|
|
| This technology generates
energy from renewable sources to provide the heating and air conditioning
and cooling systems for our developments. |
| By generating heat from
renewable sources homeowners are paid for the heat they use whilst
making a difference to the environment! Homeowners can slash the
cost of their current energy bills! |
| Our executive
homes are built to Code 4 for sustainable homes by including certain
eco-upgrades to the properties which will enhance each of them. |
|
Under the current renewable energy
legislation, starting from April 2011, Heat Pump Technology entitles
every customer to receive a cash incentive where the Government
would pay their energy bills for the first five years. The customer
will receive an annual payment that will pay the heating and hot
water bill plus create a net income of approximately half the bill
amount each year.
- Running costs are approximately
halved.
- CO2 production is reduced by 40%.
- There are no local CO2 emissions.
|
| Through
the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the aim is to get 12% of the UK's
generate from renewable sources by 2020 which is quite a big step
forward! |
| By
generating heat from renewable sources homeowners are paid for the
heat they use whilst making a difference to the environment! |
| For virtually every single
property in the UK, heat is generated at source - i.e. in the property
itself, using a gas or oil boiler for example.This results in often
quite hefty energy bills for your gas, oil or electricity if you use
electric heaters. By installing renewable heat equipment, homeowners
will get paid for the heat they generate. |
| They may still have other
costs (e.g. electricity to power a heat pump or wood chip/pellets
for a biomass boiler) but the RHI has been structured so that these
will either be far less than or roughly the same as the payments received.
By having a renewable heat system that does not use either oil or
gas, homeowners won't be affected by such changes. |
| Whilst not being totally
immune - as all the systems rely on electricity or some other fuel
(e.g. wood) to run - but the affect should be greatly diminished.
|
| Homeowners can feel they
are making a difference to the environment 99% of all the heat currently
generated comes from oil, gas fuel or electricity power stations.
This means that just a woeful 1% comes from renewable sources. |
