| Agent‘s Note | The property is heated by two Air Source heat exchangers. The larger of the two heats the main body of the house and provides hot water for baths and showers. The smaller unit heats the towel warmers in the En Suite and ground floor WC. Both systems are fully programmable and have thermostatic radiator valves where appropriate. In addition, these are supplemented by two solar thermal water heater panels and 16 photo voltaic panels generating free electricity. The Air Source system brings an income of £470.48 per quarter from the Government, which will run until 24th March 2022. A variable amount per quarter is received for Feed-In tariff for electricity exported to the National Grid. Our vendor informs us that this currently averages approx. £215 per quarter, varying according to the season and the weather. This scheme runs until 2036 and both schemes are transferable to the new owners of Graymont upon completion of the necessary paperwork.
