Find out more about some of the energy efficiency measures being installed as part of our Warmer Homes programme.
These measures are designed to reduce energy consumption, lower your energy bills, and make your home a comfier place to live. While not every home will receive all the measures listed, each improvement is a step towards a greener, more energy-efficient future.
Cavity wall insulation fills the gap between your home's inner and outer walls with insulating material. This measure significantly reduces heat loss, making your home warmer and cutting energy bills.
Loft insulation adds a thermal barrier to your loft or attic space, preventing heat from escaping through the roof. This ensures your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy costs.
External wall insulation involves applying a protective insulating layer to the exterior of your home. This improves energy efficiency and gives your property a fresh, modern appearance.
Internal insulation is the process of adding insulation to the interior walls of your home. This method is particularly useful for properties where external insulation is not feasible, ensuring improved heat preservation and energy savings.
Solar photovoltaic panels harness sunlight to generate electricity, providing your home with free renewable energy. This reduces dependence on grid power, lowers energy bills, and helps the environment.
Air source heat pumps extract warmth from the air outside, even in cold weather, to heat your home and water. This eco-friendly system can offer substantial energy savings and reduces carbon emissions.
Double glazed windows consist of two layers of glass with insulating gaps between them. These windows reduce heat loss, block external noise, and improve comfort.
Efficient storage heaters are designed to charge during off-peak hours, storing heat for use throughout the day. This energy-efficient system helps reduce heating costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
Mechanical ventilation systems ensure a continuous flow of fresh air in your home while removing stale air. These systems are energy-efficient and can include heat technology, which transfers warmth from outgoing air to incoming air, helping to maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment while reducing heat loss.How it works
There's a lot to consider when making energy improvements - so we've tried to summarise the key steps in the process for you.

Your home energy survey
Before energy improvements can be made to your home, we need to complete an energy survey.
