Ralph and Suki had some clear aims for their Detached, 4 bed, 1999 home in Cambourne:

  1. To provide heating that was more flexible and tailored to their needs better than gas central heating with radiators.
  2. To make their house more resilient to possible power cuts and heatwaves!
  3. To reduce their energy bills:    75% reduction achieved
  4. To cut their carbon footprint: 90 % reduction achieved

To make this happen, they’ve improved their home with:

  • 3.6kWp of PV,
  • a home battery
  • smart controls
  • ev charging
  • an Air to Air heat pump, which also provides hot water!
