Homeowners Guide to an Energy-Efficient Home (Plus £500 Off!)

Many homeowners want to reduce their energy bills and environmental impact but aren’t sure where to begin. We’re here to guide you on how to create a warmer, greener, and more affordable home!


This guide is designed for you - the everyday homeowner who wants to make a real difference to your bills and property’s energy usage. We’ll break down some easy starting points for energy-efficient upgrades and, best of all, show you how our UK-first Vibrant Energy Savings Audit (VESA) can help you save £500 on your journey!


Where to Begin: Simple Steps, Big Impact

Think of your home’s energy efficiency like building blocks. Starting with the foundation makes the rest easier to follow. Here are a few beginner-friendly areas to focus on:

Draught-Proofing

Imagine tiny gaps around your windows and doors letting precious heat escape in winter and cool air escape in summer. Draughts are a major culprit for wasted energy and can make your home feel constantly chilly or stuffy.

Invest in some inexpensive draught excluders for doors, weather stripping for windows, and sealant for cracks around pipes or cables. You’ll be surprised at the immediate difference in comfort and your energy bills.

 

Smart Thermostats

Traditional thermostats can be inefficient, heating your home even when you’re not there or overheating rooms unnecessarily. Smart thermostats offer much more control.

A smart thermostat allows you to schedule heating and cooling, control it remotely via your phone, and even learn your habits to optimise energy usage automatically. Precise temperature control prevents wasted energy and ensures your home is comfortable only when you need it to be.

 

Efficient Lighting

Incandescent and even some older halogen bulbs are energy guzzlers. Switching to LED bulbs is one of the quickest and most impactful changes you can make. Lighting accounts for a significant portion of household energy consumption. LEDs drastically reduce this, saving you money on your electricity bill.

 

Understanding Your Energy Usage

Before making bigger changes, it's helpful to understand where your energy is going.

That’s where we come in. A VESA will help you understand your energy habits in detail and also helps you identify areas where you can make the biggest impact with your upgrades, alongside recommendations for the most impactful energy upgrades, access to government funding and exclusive deals and savings with our industry-leading partners.
