Operations & Maintenance

Solar PV systems are known for their dependability, making it wise to secure a solar panel maintenance contract.

In the midst of your daily activities, it’s easy to overlook the fact that these panels are producing electricity at no cost. While they require minimal upkeep, some maintenance is essential to ensure they function at their highest capacity.

Your PV system could probably manage without frequent inspections or maintenance. However, regular inspections increase the likelihood of it performing up to its potential. At ALKAG Electrical Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of inspection and testing services. These include visual inspections by our expert installers and electrical circuit tests.

Your Carbon Footprint...

Your Carbon Footprint...

What is a carbon footprint?

Think of a carbon footprint as the mark left by a person, a home, a product or a business on the environment. It’s measured in terms of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, among others. The calculation considers the total greenhouse gases we’re likely to emit through all our activities. To give you an idea, the worldwide average carbon footprint is about 4,000 kg of carbon dioxide per person, while in the UK, it’s close to a whopping 10,000 kg per person!

How can you reduce yours?

There’s a myriad of actions you can take to minimize your carbon footprint. We’re ready to share some straightforward strategies with you that will make an immediate difference in your environmental contribution, starting right now.

Heating & hot water – By lowering your heating by just a single degree, you could slice your heating expenses by up to 10% and save nearly £85 per year while also shrinking your carbon footprint. You can further reduce energy consumption by replacing your old boiler with a more energy-efficient model.
Appliances – Avoid leaving electronic devices on standby, as they continue to draw energy. Choose appliances with high energy-efficiency ratings.
Utilities – Think about changing your energy provider. This could not only help you save money, but you may also get discounts if you choose digital statements, which are environmentally friendly and lower costs for the provider.
Saving water – Around 15% of a typical gas-heated home's heating expense - about £80 per year - is spent on heating water for showers, baths, and taps (Source: Energy Savings Trust). Cutting down on water use can lower your bill, reduce energy consumption, and lessen environmental impact.
Lighting – Simply switching off lights when not in use can help, but swapping traditional light bulbs for LED or CFL ones can create a more significant difference.
Smart meters – Using energy monitors to track energy use in your home can remove the need for manual meter readings. By understanding your energy use, you can adjust your habits to reduce energy use, thereby shrinking your carbon footprint and saving money.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Due to new government regulations, many large organizations are prioritizing the reduction of their carbon footprint. It doesn’t matter if you’re a big or small organization or just aiming to lower your energy use; numerous options are currently available.

LED lighting has become more cost-effective and widely used in new setups. These lights offer replacement bulbs and fixtures that provide the same lighting as traditional ones but save more energy. You can also save energy by installing controls for heating and lighting and using more efficient machinery. ALKAG Electrical Ltd can provide a complete design and installation service to better manage and utilize energy.
