At about 1min 45 in on the vid he bareface lies, stating that before 2011 there were no other company that was offering cheaper energy than British Gas. Well this blogger left BG some 10 years ago and always managed to obtain cheaper energy by shopping around.
It's no good blaming the energy companies for this. They've been forced to compete against inefficient, subsidised, green technology. They have to compete with onshore bird mincer subsidies to the tune of £100/Mw hr, and offshore at £150/Mw hr.
EG: See how much a wind farm is producing to see the inneficiency of wind.
It's producing just 18.3244% of it's rated capacity.
They've also been forced to pay for loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, etc, for their customers. No wonder the price of energy is rocketing.
DISCLAIMER: The FE household has not applied for loft insulation or cavity wall insulation. The reason being that he has no loft or cavity walls. (In fact I would be loathe to have cavity wall insulation as it can in the long run do serious damage to your home. (If you doubt this. See me after school).
As title of this post reminds you.
Fucking Tosser.
I enquired about loft insulation and all went well until I was asked if there was sufficient height for the 'operatives' to stand upright. my 'no' answer produced a response spouting Health & Safety concerns about cramped working condition
ReplyDeleteOutside wall cladding was not even offered.
I have grave doubts about the long-term effect of filling in a cavity wall which was specifically designed to have an air gap. Nor am I convinced that squirting in material whose long-term stability is not yet known is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteAm I right to be wary of a scheme which seems to be more about filler-squirting companies invoicing the government direct than about prudent insulation?
The purpose of the cavity is to prevent moisture seeping from outside to the inside of a house. If it's filled then the design purpose is negated. Some injected chemicals have been known to settle over time leaving the top of the cavity uninsulated.
