Lincoln energy customers are saying they are saving big on household costs as a result of switching to renewable energy in the face of the deepening national cost of living crisis.
They have been designing bespoke systems for home installation of renewable tech for three years, including heat pumps, plumbing, radiators, underfloor heating, solar panels and car charger ports. But not everyone knows that with the purchase of an air source heat pump, which typically might cost £10,000, the customer receives a £5,000 grant from the government as part of the ‘Boiler Upgrade Scheme’.
Heat pumps are valued because they heat buildings uniformly, meaning there’s no cold spots in the house, but they do not produce the intense heat that a gas or oil burning furnace does and so may ‘switch’ some customers off. Dan and Craig’s customer, Patience Thody, from Lincoln who works for the Wildlife Trusts, spoke to The Lincolnite to tell us about her air source heat pump and solar panels that she recently had installed by Greenlinc.
Patience said she is probably being saved the doubling and tripling of energy bills by switching to renewables, and is paying what everyone else was paying back before the price hikes. In fact, she says she wishes she had “gone a bit further” and installed more solar panelling and a battery, which she is now having retrofitted.
He says the demand for his service has increased as renewable become a very important part of the “big picture” of climate change action. We spoke to Jason Herrick, semi-retired, from Lincoln. He had bought solar panelling, an air source heat pump and an electric car charge port fitted by UK Alternative and said the reason he made these green upgrades to his home was a mixture of both environmental and financial incentives.
It’s an expensive purchase at £8,400, but Jason justifies the outlay because the Tesla saves him having to buy electricity from the grid at the 30p per KwH, and he saves further by using an off-peak tariff when he needs to charge the Tesla at night. Jason described the ease of using his heat pump: “There is less to actually look at, touch or do really.
