Our Eastriggs homes are being built with the future in mind, offering incredibly energy-efficient features. Let’s take a closer look at what sets these homes apart and how they’ll benefit you and your family.
The ‘Fabric First’ Approach
We are incorporating a ‘fabric first’ approach in our latest development. But, what does this mean?
Essentially, it’s all about creating homes that are well-insulated and airtight from the ground up. We’ve used high levels of insulation—350mm thick in the roof space alone! This ensures that heat stays where it’s meant to be: inside your home. With less heat escaping, you’ll spend less on heating, while also enjoying a cozier, more comfortable living environment.
Smart Heating for Smarter Living
Our homes come equipped with gas combi boilers that provide efficient heating and hot water on demand. But we’ve gone a step further by incorporating dual-zone heating. This system allows you to maintain different temperatures in various parts of your home. For example, you can keep your bedrooms cooler while making living spaces are warm and inviting. This flexibility helps lower your energy bills without compromising comfort.
Harnessing Solar Power
In addition to a highly efficient heating system, every property in Eastriggs is fitted with 2-4 photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof, depending on the size of the home. These solar panels are directly connected to each property, allowing you to generate your own electricity during daylight hours. This means real savings on your energy bills—especially when you use electricity during the day when the sun is (hopefully) shining!
Low Running Costs, High Energy Performance
Thanks to these thoughtful design choices, our energy consultants have projected that each home in Eastriggs will achieve an impressive Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B. To put this into perspective, our homes are estimated to have an annual gas and electricity cost of just £180 per year, on average. That’s right—just £180 a year for all your heating and electricity needs!
