Most people look forward to their summer holidays, days spent away from home and away from the day to day worries. The one thing that should not be overlooked when organising this is to have your home alarm system serviced before you head away. This is something that can be organised and planned for in advance and it will give you such peace of mind knowing that your precious belongings are well protected.
If on the other hand you do not have an existing intruder alarm system you should consider having one fitted prior to your annual holiday. Always get more than one quote, always get a written quote - then you can compare like with like - and know exactly what you are getting for your money.

Don’t forget to buy some light bulbs, as Murphys Law would have it, bulbs always blow at night when its dark and you need them. So always have a stock on hand and leave them in the same place then you’ll be able to put your hand on them easily even when looking for them in the dark.
Another good idea is to have a torch, new batteries and even candles in the same place for the same reason as the light bulbs. This a good habit to get into, so when you do your shopping this week stock up on bulbs.

This is the next big thing on the energy saving front for the retail sector, office, educational instituations and any premises with large energy use.
CHP is for combined heat and power and has already been rolled out. There is a grant available and the balance is tax-deductable. The unit has an average payback of between 3 and 5 years. This initiative is supported by the SEI, Sustainable Energy Ireland.

Why not have solar panels fitted to both help reduce the cost of energy and to heat your water. There are a vast number of styles and types of panel on the market at the moment and most are suitable for the Sustainable Energy Ireland grants. Further details on grants available can be found here.
Before renovating an old house check out the grants which are available, as in most cases when having solar panels fitted a new water tank/cylinder is required or comes as part of the equipment, so before you fit a new water tank you could save yourself time and effort and find a grant covers all or some of the labour costs.
