Go Zero Carbon and banish big bills
A zero carbon home will reduce your emissions while decreasing your energy bills. Start your zero carbon journey today.
What is aZero Carbonhome?
A zero carbon home is built to be incredibly efficient, requiring less energy to heat and holding the heat for much longer. Built with renewable energy systems such as solar panels, these homes are designed to operate without standard energy costs. Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside to heat water inside the home.
You could save up to £2,589.99* on your energy bills with a zero carbon home. Our homes use less energy than regular homes thanks to a mix of renewable energy, modern appliances, and smart controls. With thermal insulation, water saving devices, improved fabrics and air tightness, our homes waste less too. Join the zero carbon revolution, with a home that is kinder to your pocket and better for the planet.

How dosolar panelswork?
Our zero carbon homes are fitted with enough solar PV panels to produce carbon free energy during the day to balance out the use of energy at night.
You may think you need full sunlight to generate electricity, but daylight is more than enough. And if you install a battery, your home can store the energy that you don’t need at the time so it can be used later.
How does anair source heat pump work?
Your air source heat pump sits outside the house and extracts heat energy from the air. You can use this to heat water in the home, including radiators, underfloor heating, showers and taps.
It’s only powered by electricity, so no more gas bills, and it helps you to heat your home to a constant temperature. They function well in all weathers, even when the outside air temperature is as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius. So it will help to keep you cooler in the summer.
Did you know an air source heat pump is up to three times more efficient than an electric boiler?
How do zero carbon homesreduce energy bills?
Generating your own renewable energy, insulation and air tightness are all key to reducing your home’s energy consumption. This ensures that the environment outside the home has less effect on the environment within. So, say goodbye to drafts.
Modern appliances with smart controls and programmable systems also provide energy savings. This includes induction hobs, water-saving taps, Wi-Fi controlled thermostats, and a lot more.
What is theEPC ratingof a zero carbon home?
Your home is given an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating out of 100, categorized from A (best) to G (worst). We are proud to have an EPC rating of A on all our zero carbon homes.

"Even the solar panels clean themselves when it rains. No matter what happens with energy prices, we know what to expect."
Steve & Sarah
Templegate Zero Bills residents
“We initially looked at other period properties, but we felt a newbuild home would be right for us. We didn’t want the hassle of all the general maintenance of an older house, such as old boilers, changing electrics and sash windows. A new build gave us a clean slate.”

Berry Croft residents
“I’m a people person, and Woodgate has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I remember the first time I came here. I came for a coffee with a friend and we sat in the café overlooking the big village green. I thought to myself that I’d like to live here.”
Jenny
Woodgate resident
"We lived there for thirty-four years and raised our three children in that home, but it was creaking at the seams! We didn’t feel we could leave the house for any length of time without fear of something going wrong, such as a pipe bursting or the roof leaking. We chose a new build home for peace of mind."

"After sending a friend to check it out for us, we were mesmerised. He called us from his car and said, ‘You need to live here, I’ve never seen a place like this."

"I love the design, the layout, the wide roads with the houses nicely set back. It’s spread out and already has a nice community feel. With the park next door and a new Village Green, this is our long-term, hopefully forever home. And that was all before we stepped inside!”
