Home visits / Energy Audits and referrals to Grant Schemes

The STANDEN team will be more than happy to visit your home to see if we can help you save energy. We can undertake a basic energy audit, as well as checking things like your central heating controls, looking over your bills and investigating options for insulating your property.frontview_compact_409_303

After the home visit is complete we will send you a home energy report, detailing ways your might be able to cut your consumption. We will also undertake research into any specific issues of questions you have and arrange to come back and see you with the results later on.

rollIf it becomes clear you are in need of insulation work in your home, STANDEN will help you to find the most appropriate grant scheme to financially support you in making improvements. STANDEN can directly refer you to a reputable installer for a free survey and quotation, and your local Energy Champion can even be on hand to be at your property while the survey takes place if you are worried about having workmen in your home.


Free energy saving gadgets and support

We have a range of 'gadgets' and support available to help you on your energy saving journey.

Energy monitors can be easily installed and tell you in real time how much electricity you are using and how much it is costing you. These are available free to householders in the STANDEN area, and we would be pleased to come out and show you how to use them.47325 - owl wireless energy monitor2

Intelligent plugs can help you to stop leaving things on standby, and can be yours for free if you let us know you would like one. We also have energy saving lightbulbs to give away, and can help you source other energy saving products at the best price.

In addition to this we can support your longer term efforts to save energy by enrolling you in a behaviour change programme, getting you signed up to 'the Carbon Diet' online, or by helping you keep an energy diary to see where your times of high consumption are.

Support for community groups

Our project has a strong community focus, and we are keen to get out and meet as many community groups as possible! If you think your group or club would like to have an energy saving talk, see some eco- gadgets, learn about insulation and grants or get advice on renewable energy we would be happy to help.

We are also keen to help communities apply for funding to improve the energy efficiency of their community buildings. So if you know of a church hall or community centre which could benefit from a new heating system or some insulation, please do get in touch and we will see what can be done.

INFRANOMIC CENTRAL HEATING

SYSTEM INSTALLED

 

For one householder and client of St Andrews Environmental Network, Monday 8th of October began the two day installation of a new Infranomic heating system, supplied and installed by Direct Savings, Livingstone, in partnership with StAndEN.

This project will see all those involved, Direct Savings, University of St Andrews, and StAndEN working together to carefully monitor the amount of electricity required to run this type of heating.

 

It is hoped that the outcome for the householder will be that her electricity consumption and her resulting bills are reduced. The household will experience increased comfort levels so even if costs remain the same Infranomic eating will be proved to out perform Electric Storage Heating.

The selected household’s current storage heating is expensive and difficult to control, and the new system provides a fully controlled electric central heating to the property. You can understand the delight of our client to try out a new concept which also has good health benefits.

Unlike conventional radiators that you see next to windows and walls, the new slim-line heaters can even be fitted to the ceiling and are all thermostatically controlled by a wall thermostat.

The team will be monitoring the clients use, taking regular meter readings and take note of likes/dislikes from the client.

The project is hoped to have good results that will benefit property dwellers in the future as it is well known the cost of keeping your home warm during these cold spells is escalating all the time.
