Low carbon energy options for your home

If you are looking for low carbon energy improvements for your home, options to consider include:

  • Improving insulation to reduce your energy consumption for heating
  • Generating your own electricity with photovoltaics (PV) on your roof (or other location)
  • Solar thermal panels on your roof to directly heat hot water
  • An induction hob for cooking
  • Installing a heat pump in place of a gas or oil boiler to supply hot water and heating

Here we provide information we (Sustainable Wantage) have gathered as home owners on some of the options, including links to further sources of guidance.
