Adding value to homes, the eco-friendly way

County Armagh firm, Green Energy Technology Ltd., use their experience and expertise to apply renewable energy solutions to homes all over the UK and Ireland. From their state of the art showroom and conference suite in Waringstown, the company creates bespoke solutions to suit a variety of homes. They cover a wide range of technologies, including wood pellet systems, solar electricity and solar hot water. They also provide a full end-to-end service, from consultation to installation, for added peace of mind.

An investment in renewable technology now, can add value to your home in the long run, create ongoing savings, AND provide yearly cash payments. These benefits, coupled with the availability of up to £10,000 in grants and up to 5 years 100% council rate relief, mean that renewable technology makes more financial sense than ever – this is before we take into account the positive environmental and carbon reducing factors.

John Martin, Director of Green Energy Technology, commented;

‘Not a lot of people know that the first occupier of a zero carbon home will benefit from five years without having to pay council rates. For some people in Northern Ireland, this can represent a huge saving. On top of this there is the availability of grants for solar electricity – a customer spending £10,000 now on solar panels, may never have to pay an electricity bill again, and can expect to receive a clean energy cashback payment of around £600 per year.’

Low carbon homes can receive two years rate relief, and zero carbon homes – five years, under the Low Carbon Homes Scheme from Land and Property Services.

John continued;

‘Money spent of solar electric panels can be realised in the value of the property as panels can last over 25 years. New buyers and new builders are more energy efficient, and renewable energy aware than ever before’.

Homes that have met the low or zero carbon standards through Green Energy Technology Ltd. typically have installed either a wood pellet boiler or stove, solar hot water, and/or solar electric panels. Working models of all these technologies can be viewed at the Green Energy Technology showrooms.
