September 28, 20241 yr Google's algorithms are feeding me articles like this since I started reading about the energy efficiency certificates that are required in the UK for new builds or any house for sale. There is no standard that must be met, the idea is that the buyer will have an indication of running costs. So the inspector looks at window & door seals, insulation, lighting, water heating etc. So I got fed an article about a couple who have a house with a heatpump and clearly other features. The AI search on my phone tracked them down. This is how you get an A-rated home in England. What interests me is the level of integration. They can manage the energy flow of the home remotely. The original article I read says that they pay less than a pound a week for energy in the summer, but about 150 a month in the winter. Which is still beating the odds. The average bill for 2 or 3 people in a medium sized home is 153 a month. That's averaged over a year. So their biggest bill is most couple's average. Sometimes they end up in credit. The price mentioned doesn't seem outrageous. https://www.newlandhomes.co.uk/news/trailblazing-new-houses-in-tickenham/ Edited September 28, 20241 yr by Bobster.
