Renewable energy Open Day on Saturday

Monday, 11 November 2024 09:02

Heat Pump installed in Ilkley

Climate Action Ilkley (CAI) is holding an Open Day on Saturday 16 November 2024 with information about heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging.

All three play an important role in helping us reduce our energy usage, carbon dioxide emissions and save money.

Over 1.3 million houses in the UK have installed solar panels, over the last decade their costs have reduced significantly and their performance continues to improve.

The government has set a target of 600,000 heat pumps to be installed in our homes every year and provides a grant of £7,500. Also the costs to supply and install solar panels and heat pumps are currently VAT zero rated.

Between 10am and 12 noon you can visit five CAI members' houses in Ilkley and Burley to see their heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle chargers in action and ask questions.

Please go to the address, you don’t need to book, the locations are:

25 Wharfe View Road, Ilkley, LS29 8DY. 1890s terrace. Heat pump and solar panels.
6 Craigmore Drive, Ben Rhydding, LS29 8PG. 1930s semi-detached, Heat pump, solar panels and battery storage. Please walk or cycle, we are trying to stop cars parking on the grass verges.
103 Grove Rd, Ilkley, LS29 9QE. 1970s detached. Heat pump, electric car + charging.
1 Far Mead Croft, Burley, LS29 7RR. 1990s detached. Solar panels, heat pump, electric car + charging.
