Energy Surveys & Eco Audits
There are now many places that you can enter some figures and get an approximation of your carbon footprint. But what then, what can I actually do, how much will it cost, how much will it save. Oh dear, too complicated, maybe next year!
The idea of an Eco Audit is to do a detailed analysis of your energy and natural resource use. Then make suggestions and follow these up on a regular basis.
I have lost count of the number of people who have proudly installed solar water heating but have little insulation in the roof and no wall insulation. They have spent £2500+ to save £80 per year and are allowing £200 per year escape from their property.
We do not advise you to use particular companies but will help you make sense of their quotes!
Will you save the cost of the Audit? Maybe, certainly advice on alternative energy installations can easily make it worth while and many little things mount up and you will actually do something about saving resources rather than thinking about it!
