Claim your FREE* electric vehicle charging unit for your home.

Regardless of whether you have an electric vehicle (EV) or not, CTS Renewables has been awarded accreditation and funding from the Government to install a free EV charging unit at your home.

Cleaner on the environment and easy on the conscience, an electric vehicle is definitely the way forward. In the coming months almost every leading car manufacturer in the world will launch at least one plug in electric vehicle (EV) into the market with many launching multiple EV models, it is the future of motoring. An electric car charge point will become a vital component for millions of home owners and their visitors.

If you or your family are considering owning an electric car, why not take advantage of current, but limited government funding, and have a completely free charging point installed now. Not only will this smart bit of kit future proof your property, at a usual cost of around £1,500 it will also add value.

So what’s included in the free offer?

Thanks to the government’s “Offi ce for Low Emission Vehicles” free installation scheme, CTS Renewables are able to offer a package accessible to most UK homeowners. In order to be eligible you must be the homeowner or have permission from the homeowner, have off street parking adjacent to a suitable EV charger installation position, a good mobile phone signal to send anonymous usage data to OLEV in order to meet grant requirements and of course, an electricity connection!

If these few requirements are met CTS Renewables will assess the property for suitability and arrange an installation to include:

• A free 16 Amp charging point with universal vehicle connection facility. (more powerful 32 Amp charger available for small cost.)
• An additional two way consumer unit if current consumer unit is full.
• Fitting of an earth rod if necessary.
• Home unit to be located no more than 15m from electric distribution board.
• Supply cable will be affixed flush to the wall - not trenched or hidden behind walls/through joists.
• On site survey and standard installation by a fully-trained CTS Renewables electrician on the same day for
your convenience.
• 3 year warranty.
• If the installation is classed as “non-standard” it may still be completed at a small upfront extra cost.

AND REMEMBER YOU DO NOT NEED AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS FANTASTIC OFFER!

The domestic RHI scheme finally opens for applications on 9 April 2014.

The domestic RHI scheme opened on 9 April 2014. It is a financial incentive scheme designed to encourage uptake of renewable heating among domestic consumers. The domestic RHI is targeted at, but not limited to, homes off the gas grid. Those without mains gas have the most potential to save on fuel bills and decrease carbon emissions.

The scheme will cover single domestic dwellings and will be open to homeowners, private landlords, social landlords and self-builders. It will not be open to new build properties other than self-build.

The domestic RHI will pay the following tariffs per unit of heat generated for seven years:

Air-source heat pumps 7.3p/kWh
Ground and water-source heat pumps 18.8p/kWh
Biomass-only boilers and biomass pellet stoves with integrated boilers 12.2p/kWh
Solar thermal panels (flat plate and evacuated tube for hot water only) 19.2 p/kWh

The tariffs have been set at a level that reflects the expected cost of renewable heat generation over 20 years. Payments will be made on a quarterly basis.

The launch of the scheme follows extensive consultation on how a financial incentive would work best for householders and landlords.
