Making Your Home More Sustainable

Improving your home's energy and resource efficiency can reduce your bills and environmental impact.

Key Areas:

• Insulation: Proper loft, wall, and floor insulation is often the most cost-effective way to reduce heating energy loss.
• Windows & Doors: Upgrading to double or triple glazing and ensuring drafts are sealed reduces heat loss.
• Heating System: Consider upgrading older boilers to efficient condensing boilers, or investigate heat pumps (air source or ground source) for a fossil-fuel-free option. Install smart thermostats.
• Water Heating: Insulate hot water tanks and pipes. Consider solar thermal panels for water heating.
• Renewable Energy: Install solar PV panels to generate your own electricity.
• Water Conservation: Fit low-flow taps and showerheads, consider rainwater harvesting.
