The owners of this 1970's 3 bedroom bungalow in Niton have spent the last 10 years working to make it more energy efficient in order to reduce the impact on the planet and its running costs.
 
A lot of what has been done has been DIY and using selected contractors where necessary.
Of particular note is the extensive internal insulation which has created a very cosy home with a low heating requirement.
 
  • 4kw solar pv and a battery.
  • Internal cellotex wall insulation,
  • Roof insulation,
  • An Air Source Heat Pump for 4 years.
 
The owners have a great deal of data about the electricity consumption and generation, and the subsequent costs to run the home annually.
