Powering your life shouldn't cost the earth. This section explores how to transition from volatile fossil fuels to a smarter, electrified home that utilises a heat pump, solar power, battery storage, and intelligent tariffs to slash your bills and your carbon footprint.
Electrification is Efficiency: Moving from gas to electric heating (a heat pump) can reduce your total household energy demand and carbon footprint through superior efficiency.
Roof-top Solar Panels let you harvest free energy from the sun and turn it into electric power you can use
Smart Tariffs are Key: Using "Time-of-Use" tariffs can allow you to heat your home and charge your car for roughly half the cost of the standard price cap.
Storage Completes the Loop: Adding a home battery doesn't just store solar; it lets you "load shift" cheap grid power when it is available to use during expensive evening peaks.
Insulation First! Don't forget that a well-insulated house will lead to lower bills, whatever the source of heating, so do this first.
