In just over 3 year we have fitted additional loft insulation, some small areas of floor insulation and draft excluded. The next stage would be to wrap the house in a combination of external solid wall insulation/internal wall insulation and to insulate under the floors.
Annual energy use
• Annual Electricity imported 2000kWh
• Annual Gas 16,000KWh
About us and why we did it
In addition to the environmental benefits. Having worked in the field of housing and energy for 10 years and been involved in projects where we had put renewable technologies in to peoples homes I thought it was time to have them myself.
Heating and Power
• Solar PV – Generating just over half of our annual electricity
• Solar Hot water – provides almost all hot water April to end of September.
• A Rated Gas Condensing Boiler. This is much smaller, quieter in use than the older boiler and we expect to see at least 20% saving on our annual gas bills. The quality of our hot water system is much improved.
