Visit SiteFAQs
Why is my boiler making strange noises?
Strange noises can be a sign of several issues, such as trapped air, a faulty pump, or a faulty valve. It’s best to call a professional to diagnose the issue.
Can I use a Gas Safety Certificate from a previous tenancy?
No, you need to obtain a new Gas Safety Certificate for each new tenancy or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
Are boiler services worth it?
Yes, boiler services are worth it as they help ensure that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Regular servicing can also help identify any potential issues before they become major problems, which can save you money in the long run.
How long does a gas boiler repair take?
The length of time it takes to repair a gas boiler can vary depending on the severity of the issue. However, most repairs can be completed within a few hours to a day.
What should I look for in a solar panel installation quote?
A comprehensive quote should include the cost of the panels, installation charges, any scaffolding that might be needed, a timeline for completion, warranty periods, and details of any after-sales service. It’s wise to get multiple quotes to compare prices and services.
Can I repair my gas boiler myself?
It’s not recommended to repair your gas boiler yourself, as it can be dangerous and can result in further damage or injury. Instead, it’s best to leave the repairs to a trained and certified professional.
What are some examples of reusable items I can use to be more eco-friendly and save money?
Some examples of reusable items include cloth napkins, refillable water bottles, and reusable shopping bags. These items may require a larger initial investment, but they can save you money in the long run by reducing the need to buy disposable items repeatedly.
How long does it take to get a smart meter installed?
The installation time can vary depending on the availability of the installation engineer and the complexity of the installation. Typically, it takes around 1-2 hours to install a smart meter.
How can I prevent my gas boiler from needing repairs?
Regular maintenance and servicing can help prevent the need for major repairs. It’s also important to have your boiler inspected annually by a professional to catch any potential issues before they become major problems.
What does it cost to charge an electric vehicle in the UK?
The cost to charge an EV in the UK varies based on electricity rates and vehicle efficiency. On average, charging an EV is cheaper than refueling a conventional petrol or diesel car for the same number of miles.
What is “vampire energy” and how can I save money by reducing it?
“Vampire energy” refers to the energy that electronic devices consume even when they are not being actively used. You can save money by unplugging devices when they are not in use, as this prevents them from using electricity unnecessarily and adding to your energy bill.

How much roof space do I need for solar panels?
The amount of roof space required depends on the size of the system you wish to install. Typically, a standard residential solar panel system needs about 15-20 square metres of roof space.
Can any electrician install solar panels, or do they need special certification?
While many electricians are capable of installing solar panels, it’s best to use an MCS-certified installer. This ensures that they have specific training and qualifications in solar energy systems, which is also a requirement to qualify for certain government incentives and feed-in tariffs.
How much does it cost to get a smart meter?
Smart meters are usually provided to customers at no extra cost. However, you should check with your energy supplier to see if there are any charges associated with getting a smart meter.
How long does it take to install solar panels?
The installation time can vary depending on the size and complexity of the system, but typically, solar panels can be installed on a residential home within 1 to 3 days once all the preparatory work has been completed.
What happens if I do not comply with these legal requirements on my rental property?
Non-compliance can result in significant fines, penalties, or even imprisonment for the most serious breaches. It can also invalidate your landlord insurance and expose you to legal claims from tenants.
How can I maximise the lifespan of my EV battery?
To maintain battery health, try to keep charging between 20% and 80% capacity and use timed charging to avoid keeping the battery at 100% for extended periods. Modern smart chargers can help manage this automatically.
