As this year comes to a close, we look back on an eventful year. Since 2011 Trusted Energy have looked for ways to help you use renewable energy in your home, heating your house without costing the earth.

Before we look at how the world of renewable energy has changed over the year, we update you on our opening hours this holiday season.

Trusted Energy will close at 12noon on 21^st December 2022, opening again at 8.30 on 3^rd January 2023. Our Out Of Hours Emergency numbers will be manned during this time, and all messages received over the holidays will be replied to as soon as possible when we are back.

With world events causing a wide range of issues to fuel and other supplies in the UK, many have started to look more seriously at renewable energy. Perhaps you are one?

If you are looking for ways to help your environment but can’t update your energy type, there are other ways to make the break. Our blog from March, ‘Four Ways to help fossil fuels go extinct’, explored ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, from reusable bags to electric cars. Working together we can make a difference.

Some good news was brought to us in the Governments Spring Budget Statement – ‘the VAT on energy saving materials such as solar panels, heating pumps and roof insulation from 5% to zero for 5 years‘. Read more on this here.
