EVs significantly reduce emissions compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged from renewable energy sources. The UK’s growing renewable energy capacity makes EVs increasingly sustainable.

Insulating your home helps keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can reduce your heating and cooling needs and save you money on your energy bills. Proper insulation can also reduce air leaks and improve indoor air quality.

As a landlord in the UK, you are required to obtain several key certificates to ensure the safety and compliance of your rental properties. These include the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) where applicable, and a Legionella Risk Assessment if needed. These certificates help ensure that your property meets health and safety standards.

Smart meters are designed and tested to meet strict safety standards. They use low-level radio waves to transmit data, which are well within the safety limits set by the relevant authorities.

If you are unsure whether your property has a current gas safety certificate, you can contact us at CRS Matrix and we can help you verify this information. We will need to know the address of the property and the date of the last inspection. If there is no existing certificate or the current certificate has expired, we can arrange for a gas safety inspection to be carried out at your property. This will help ensure that your property is safe and compliant with gas safety regulations.

Reputable installers will have insurance to cover any damages that occur during installation. Always confirm this before work begins, and check the warranty and insurance details included in your installation contract.

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.

You will receive the certificate via email from our certified engineer when the inspection is finished. This is typically within 48 hours (longer if done on the weekend). Depending on the scheduling and availability, we can examine the same day. Please note, there might be a small charge if we have to expedite outside of our normal procedures. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.
