18mths on and i`m none the wiser but even more suspicious,
Here in Wales we have this Eco4 scheme,if ones income is not more than £31,000,or if one has one of several health conditions or is on any kind of benefit,the cost of insulation,solar panels and air source pump and fitting are Free,sounds good,but the uptake has been slow because ones old system oil or coal has to be disconected,not so if one is paying personally for the system.
Now the last few months seems things have changed,that is where i`m getting suspicious,one of my neighbours was telling me they are having solar panels and a air source heat pump,but because they don`t want the hassle of moving things to get the insulation done the company are giving them extra solar panels,now a company from Swansea has contacted me trying to sell me a Hybrid system,where they fit solar panels and an air source heat pump,but its connected into the oil central heating system with some technical thermostatic whatnot that works on outside temperature,or one can manually switch it off.
It does seem to me these numerous companies are mainly Government grant chasers who then tender to the cheapest installer to fit the systems,as locally there have been many bad reports,about poor workmanship,mess left in homes and expensive electricity bills,one lady got an independant electrician it to check the work has not seen any reduction in the electric bills,he found several panels had not been connected to the system,and this lady had paid independantly for the system.
Makes the mind boggle. |
