Urban Energy
As fuel bills continue to climb, more and more of us are looking at alternative ways to keep the home fires burning. Luckily, one smart and practical Salisbury company is on hand to help…
O
ne key virtue of a dynamic business is the ability to spot an underlying trend, and the need for
alternative energy sources – both for businesses, and domestically – is certainly one of those. “We set up Urban Energy three years ago,” says director Adam Gerken, “with the aim to build a leading renewable energy firm.” Vital to its success has
been the insistence that everyone at Urban has a strong technical knowledge, both of their product offering and the industry as a whole. “This is a fundamental foundation of the company,” Adam says. “We
also have a subsidiary, Electrical, that offers maintenance and electrical works.” ll
How do solar panels work, exactly? Solar power comes in two forms: thermal, and photovoltaic. Solar thermal systems are used to create hot water from the energy received directly from the sun, whilst solar photovoltaic systems turn sunlight into electricity. Tariffs are currently being paid for solar photovoltaic systems, making solar a sound financial investment. ll And what kind of customers do you get? Homes and businesses: we have a strong team of surveyors who
will come to you, assess your property and advise how best you can save money on your energy bills. This is achieved through adopting renewable, energy- efficient technologies that are good for the environment – and financially beneficial to you too. Our client base stretches across the south of England and includes doctor’s surgeries and schools. ll Are all houses suitable? We only use high-quality panels; they can generate electricity even on a cloudy day! The only roofs not suitable for Solar PV are north- facing or thatched ones; south- facing are best, but we can split panels over an entire roof space to get the maximum benefit.
ll
What other kinds of renewable energy solutions are there? We offer a range of renewable energy technologies at the forefront of the renewables industry; we can reduce energy consumption via high-efficiency heating, lighting, and air source heat technology, whilst significantly reducing energy loss via our unique polythermal insulation system. We also offer LED lighting – efficient and, again, very economical. ll
What are the benefits of such installations? The key word is ‘savings’: in energy consumption, energy loss costs on utility expenditure andCO2 emissions.Our products are designed to be used together to maximise what you can achieve, while our surveyors offer a comprehensive service that includes a full assessment of energy consumption. You’ll increase the value of your house, save money on bills, and even generate money from the feed-in-tariff too! ll For
