How Much Could Your Household Save With Energy Efficiency Upgrades
With home energy upgrades there are hundreds of pounds worth of savings to be made. From simple upgrades such as an air source heat pump installation to an entire upgrade of a property’s insulation. Each upgrade comes with its own benefits and of course monthly and annual cost savings. In this blog we detail just how much on average households can save and the many other benefits of accessing your home energy upgrades via the ECO4 Scheme.
Average energy savings for eligible households:
Over the years that we have been installing upgrades to properties across the UK, our installed measures have helped households around the country save over £3 million in energy bill savings!
While savings for each individual household will differ, choosing any of the following home upgrades could save you an average of £20 per month or £240 per year.
Free boiler upgrade
With a new boiler or a switch from your traditional gas boiler to a new energy efficient, A+ rated boiler, you could save up to 30% on your home’s heating bills.
Solar PV
A solar PV panel system could save you up to £225 per year on your electricity bills. Solar panels are an investment in your home that will keep paying back for many years to come.
Air source heat pump installation
With a switch from gas heating systems to an air source heat pump, households can save an average of £1,350 per year on their heating bills. This also greatly reduces carbon emissions and helps the environment.
Some other benefits of accessing energy efficiency upgrades include:
Improved comfort: With better insulation and more efficient heating systems, your home will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This not only makes your home more comfortable, but it also reduces the need for additional energy use from fans or heaters.
Increased property value: Energy efficient upgrades can add value to your property. Potential buyers are often willing to pay more for a home with lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Reduced maintenance costs: Newer and more efficient heating systems require less maintenance and repairs, saving you money in the long run.
Home insulation
By simply installing new insulation around your home, whether it’s in the loft, in the cavity walls, internal walls or room in roof insulation, you will make considerable changes to the energy efficiency of your home. With some households saving upwards of £400 per year. By installing new insulation you will be preventing the loss of around 15-20% of all heat in your home. This will help in cold winter months.
