Payback?

Renewable energy 'payback' is a controversial issue that never gets properly explained. We look at it like this:-

 If you have a perfectly good system and are looking to go green then good for you for reducing your carbon emissions but don’t expect to achieve payback any time soon! Some systems can be modified to incorporate renewable energy but they are never as efficient as a new bespoke energy saving installation.

If you have an old failing system and are looking to replace it or are installing a hot water and heating installation in a new property then you only have to pay a little extra to include renewable energy. Payback could be achieved in a few years - how quickly depends on how you use your heating and hot water.

If you intend selling your house then a renewable energy installation would be an attractive feature that would be sure to entice buyers. They would certainly benefit from your outlay and enjoy free renewable hot water and central heating!
