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.

Some signs that your boiler may need replacing include an increase in energy bills, a drop in boiler efficiency, strange noises coming from the boiler.

Most EVs are compatible with public chargers found across the UK, though Tesla cars may need an adapter for non-Tesla chargers. It’s always best to check compatibility with your vehicle manufacturer.

But of course, you’re here already, and we are in Leicester, near you. CRS Matrix checks all the boxes for being your local boiler repair and maintenance company in Leicester.

Using an MCS-certified installer ensures that your solar panel system meets high standards of quality and compliance. It also qualifies you for various government grants and incentives, including the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) that offers payments for surplus energy exported back to the grid.

Regular servicing, keeping the area around the boiler clean, and checking the pressure gauge can help to prevent potential issues with your boiler.

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.

Solar panels can be installed on most types of roofs, including flat and pitched roofs. However, the materials of the roof, such as tiles, slate, or metal, can affect the installation process. An experienced installer can provide advice based on your specific roof type.

When you sell your house, you are not required by law to get a gas safety certificate. However, if your boiler is gas, a gas safety certificate—which you should have obtained when your boiler was last serviced—is advised for your own safety.

While not mandatory, it’s advisable for landlords to perform regular checks on the property’s structure, plumbing, heating, and pests. Regular maintenance can prevent larger issues and helps ensure tenant safety and satisfaction.

In many cases, solar panel installations fall under “permitted development” and do not require planning permission, but this can vary, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings. Always check with your local planning authority.

The length of a Gas Safety Inspection depends on the number of appliances being inspected and the complexity of the system. On average, it can take between 30 minutes to 2 hours.

A qualified electrician who has specific training and certification in EV charger installation, such as the City & Guilds 2919, is required to install an EV charger in the UK. This ensures the installation is safe and compliant with UK electrical regulations.

You can contact your energy supplier to request a smart meter installation. They will arrange a date for an engineer to come and install the meter.

While not mandatory for all properties, landlords are obligated under the Health and Safety at Work Act to assess the risk of exposure to Legionella to ensure the safety of their tenants, particularly if the property has old pipes or a rarely used water system.

No, a boiler service is not the same as a gas safety check. While both are important, a gas safety check is a basic check of the gas appliances in your home to ensure they are safe to use. A boiler service, on the other hand, involves checking the individual boiler parts to make sure they are clean and working efficiently. Think of a boiler service and a safety check as the equivalent of a service and MOT on your vehicle.

Installation costs for a home EV charger in the UK can range from £300 to £1,200. The exact cost depends on the type of charger and installation complexity. This price does not include any necessary electrical upgrades.

Using energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs, can reduce the amount of energy needed to light your home and save you money on your energy bills. LED bulbs are more expensive upfront but last longer than traditional bulbs, which can save you money in the long run.
