Imagine a life free from the burden of monthly energy bills, safe in the knowledge you’re doing your bit to protect the planet.
This is what comes with a carbon neutral home.
According to the Department of Energy and Climate Change, our homes account for over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions. In a climate emergency it’s never been more important to rethink the way we produce and use energy in our homes.
A carbon neutral home uses key sources of renewable energy, like solar panels on the roof to name one, which if combined with battery storage means you can truly live off-grid.
What is a carbon neutral home?
A carbon neutral home creates as much renewable energy as it uses creating a perfect circle of energy use.
You may have also heard of passivhaus or zero carbon houses.
A carbon neutral home has zero-emissions and can be completely self-sustaining.
There’s more to a carbon neutral home than solar panels for the home though.
By installing other green energy solutions, like battery storage and a solar hot water system, alongside improved insulation, your home can be the answer to rising energy costs and climate concerns.
You don’t need to buy a new home to be part of the sustainability movement.
With expert support, you can retrofit your existing home with a range of easy to use and understand solutions that will reap returns for years to come.
Instead of dirty, expensive gas or coal-sourced electricity being used to heat and power your home, you can harness the power of the sun, convert it to electricity, keep it in battery storage and use it when you need it.
With off-grid solar energy as an option, charging an electric vehicle and powering a heat pump hot water system means the energy you create need never leave your home.
What are the benefits of a carbon neutral home?
The obvious benefits of a carbon neutral home are two-fold: zero-emissions and lower, or even freedom from, energy bills.
However, there are other benefits, too.
Reducing the carbon footprint of your home can also offer added comfort and convenience.
Many people find that the steps they took to boost energy efficiency have had unexpected positive consequences for their lifestyle.
Often it’s the small things that make the biggest difference, like a cosy, draft-free home or being able to charge your electric vehicle at home, instead of searching for pricier charging points when out and about.
Home energy consumption accounts for such a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions that if you’re serious about sustainability a carbon neutral home has to be considered.
If, like so many others, you’re committed to taking significant steps towards a greener future, a carbon neutral home is one giant leap.
How can you own a carbon neutral home?
A carbon neutral home often starts with solar panels on the roof, which are perfect in urban settings where other renewable solutions might not be possible.
There are also a raft of clever, efficient, green energy installations and steps you can take to make sure your home never uses more energy than it produces.
Best of all, you don’t need to move to make it happen.
There are some simple steps you can take yourself, like improving drafts, but some things are better left to the experts.
