Lighting the way to an
energy efficient future
As energy management specialists, we can help you comply with
important legislation, while supporting your ability to manage new
and existing dwellings. For example, our range of energy saving
lighting systems can help reduce tenants’ bills, while also meeting
the requirements set out in the Code for Sustainable Homes, and
Parts L1A and L1B of the building regulations.
Time is money
Reducing the time spent on site is often a key aim to keep projects on
schedule. Our pre-wired solutions can reduce installation times and
reliance on skilled labour to make the construction or refurbishment
process more efficient, and minimise the costs caused by delays.
Our pre-wired consumer units and wiring accessories can be simply
connected together on-site to support efficient ways of working.

The Government has set a target for every home to have broadband
internet access by 2012. So, think about adding value to the electrical
installation with our simple home networking solution and stylish low
profile wiring accessories. Fitting is quick and simple, and the tenant
benefits from flexibility in their homes.
