Are you ready for a change?

There is no doubt that the days of heating your home with oil are numbered. All the signs are pointing in the same direction. We will either not be able to afford heating our homes with oil or we will simply not be permitted to use it with ever tightening policies and laws on the carbon footprint of our homes. Our laws will no longer tolerate carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and dangerous particles rising from the chimneys of our homes or our power plants. The cost of eliminating such substances at oil refineries will run in the hundreds of billions. The oil available for the heating of houses will have to compete with the world fleet of ships requiring bunker oil. Shipping has few alternatives to burning oil for propulsion. Such competition for cleaner oil will undoubtedly result in higher prices for domestic heating. Add to this the extraordinary rise of China and India’s thirst for a western lifestyle, with multiple cars, air conditioning, overseas travel etc, as well as the inevitable carbon taxes on our fossil fuel consumption and there is little question that moving away from a dependency on fossils fuels is the right decision economically, environmentally and ethically.

Moving away from consuming oil to heat your home is the right answer and major savings can be made by doing so. If your home is heated by electricity, LPG or mains gas there potential savings for you too as all hydrocarbon based fuels will inevitably rise in price with oil as time goes by, due to a combination of high demand and speculative trading.

How much can you save on investing in energy efficient improvements and a renewable energy system? That depends – if you currently heat your home with oil in an un-insulated house you may save up to 80 percent of your energy bill. In a more modern house you will save between 50 and 70%. Your energy bill will go down from around £5,000 per year to £1,000! or from £10,000 to £2,000 for a larger house. Next year and every year thereafter.

A clean, renewable and sustainable energy is the right solution for your home heating requirements. The big question is what form of renewable energy is best for your home? Sustainable property heating is no rocket science but you must be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of all systems. You should also understand the possible prerequisites for installing a specific renewable energy system in such a way that maximizes its potential of efficiency and economic savings. These prerequisites will include insulation standards, under floor heating needs, heat recovery potential, appliance efficiency, electricity requirements etc. Without doing the right homework you may well end up with an unnecessarily expensive and relatively uneconomical and inefficient heating system.
The market is full of various forms of renewable energy from solar (PV and solar thermal), ground source and air source heating, to hydro, wind turbines and wood pellet burners etc. There are countless companies and distributors selling THEIR choice of renewable energy to you. At Kington Renewable Energy we want to help sell YOUR choice of renewable energy to you.

Kington Renewable Energy will help you choose the right heating solution. We are independent from manufacturers and distributors and have no bias toward any specific form of renewable, sustainable energy. We do not work for any supplier of heat pumps, energy drilling or other devices. Our aim is to evaluate your current situation and discuss with you your ambitions and goals. We will work for you and find what solution is the best for your needs.

Our services to you include the following:

• We carefully evaluate your home from a heating point of view. We will start by looking for Nega-watts. Energy waste. What simple changes will reduce your heating requirements? How much of your energy produced actually heats your home and how much escapes outside? As a rule of thumb about 35% of your heating can be lost through inefficient roof insulation and windows.

• We calculate how much energy you will require to keep the temperature in your home at the level you prefer. We all have different heating preferences, so based on your specific needs we will recommend the best combination of sustainable heating products that will provide you with your central heating needs as well as your required hot water, both at the lowest price and highest efficiency.

• We will discuss additional features to complement a sustainable heating system such as heat recovery units and ventilation systems. You will learn about their potential advantages and will be able to make an educated decision on whether or not this is something for you

• Once we have agreed on the best solution for you and your family, Kington will take care of the rest. From laying new insulation and replacing home appliances to sourcing the renewable energy products (all from leading manufacturers in their industries) and then supplying and installing them, we will manage every step of the way. We are on your side – low costs, high efficiency, big savings and 100% satisfaction is what we aim to achieve on every project. We live on our reputation of efficiency and reliability.

• Upon completion we will test the efficiency of the combined heating systems and follow up by testing it again after a few months. We will also arrange for the future service of your heating systems.

• We will be responsible for obtaining grants for the various types of products where available

• If you wish, we can also assist in finding financing solutions for your energy efficiency upgrade.

We live in a New World where everything is changing. Jobs, salaries, costs, security and transportation are changing. We have to be careful with our resources to keep our family secure in the future. Being less dependent on fossil fuels is a big step in the right direction for you and your family to be prepared for this New World of lower emissions and a greater economic consciousness. Take the first step and contact us for a free consultation.
