What is a zero carbon home?
A zero carbon home is built to be incredibly efficient, requiring less energy to heat and holding the heat for much longer. They produce their own renewable energy year-round, free of charge, through solar panel technology. 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 do solar panels work?
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 an air 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 homes reduce energy bills?
Along with generating your own renewable energy, insulation and air tightness are 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 the EPC rating of 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.
