added february 9th 2009
Who are REAL Members?
Our members are firms selling or leasing renewable or other micro heat or power generation unit who abide by the REAL Assurance Scheme Consumer Code. This code is in the process of being approved by the Office of Fair Trading as part of its self-regulation initiative.
The Consumer Code and our set of Consumer Guidelines are designed to help you get advice on generation solutions without any negative marketing/sales tactics, and to ensure a strong consumer experience before, during and after a contract is agreed.
Use our site to find a REAL member in your area, or to check if your current supplier is a member.
Firms wishing to become members can download an application form here.
What is a Micro Heat or Power Generation Unit?
Micor Heat and Power Generation Units are small-scale devices which enable you to generate your own heat or power from renewable or non-renewable sources.
For example, these can include photovoltaic solar panels, small-scale wind and hydro powered generating units, BIOMASS BOILERS, solar water heating panels or combined heat and power units fuelled by gas or wood chips.
These units have the potential to reduce your energy bills, reduce the impact you have on the environment, and maybe even give you the ability to sell your electricity back to the grid. They also help reduce our dependence on large generating plants.
