Future-Fit Home Energy Plan

 

Do you live in the new Meadows?

If so, you might be eligible for a FREE Future Fit survey!

The Future-Fit Home Plan is a FREE tailored plan designed to help you reduce your energy bills and decrease your carbon emissions. The plan will assess whether renewable and low-carbon heating systems are a good fit for your home, as well as explain how to make your home fit for the future.

Contribute to the Meadows Energy Audit

We have just a few house types left to go before completing the Meadows Energy Audit! The audit is collecting data on energy consumption across various home types in the Meadows, aiming to see how much energy is used and how much could be saved if these homes were fully Retrofitted (upgraded to be as energy efficient as possible). This information is going to be vital for future research and to leverage future grant funding for the Meadows. 

With just a few house types remaining, we need your help! If you live in one of the houses listed in the grid below, please get in touch! Our team will carry out a free energy survey of your property, and in return, you’ll receive a free Future-Fit Plan tailored to give practical advice.

As a thank you for participating in our audit, we’re offering a £50 Sainsbury's voucher to the first participants from each house type!

Be sure to book your survey by the 2nd of May for a chance to receive a voucher—surveys can be completed after this date!

How does the survey work?

1) Book your free home survey at a time to suit you.

2) Our surveyor will visit your home to carry out a full assessment.

3) We put together a personalised Future-Fit Home Plan - a step-by-step plan full of the information you need to make energy saving changes to your home.

4) We will deliver your home plan in-person and discuss the options for putting your plan into action.

Are you in the Old Meadows Conservation area?

Check out our free Insulation Guides:

If you live in the Old Meadows Conservation area, we have created personalised guides which tell you how to add insulation to your Victorian home. The guides include information on how to deal with common tricky details (e.g. where your roof insulation meets the wall insulation).

Our online portal lets you select the specific details of your home, crafting a personalised guide tailored to your home. Get started here.

To offer further guidance, a member of our team can do a one hour home visit to advise on measures and bring along a paperback copy of the insulation guide for your reference.

For more info, call 0115 718 2028, or complete the request form below.

What will be in my Future-Fit Plan?

  • We will identify free or low-cost actions and simple DIY jobs which will reduce how much energy you use in your home.

  • Once you’ve made sure that your home is losing as little heat as possible, it is time to take a look at your heating system. We will consider what is the most efficient way to heat your home, and at what stage it is worth replacing your current system.

  • After reducing how much energy your home uses, we can consider whether your home may be suitable for renewable technologies such as solar panels.

 

How does a Future-Fit Plan differ to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

  • A Future-Fit plan is tailored to your home. The recommendations are generated by real human beings who know their stuff, rather than automated computer systems.

  • It is a step-by-step plan, which considers the best order in which to make improvements, and how to pair energy saving measures with routine maintenance jobs.

  • Our assessments and modelling are far more in depth than those used for an EPC, so we can give you a more realistic idea of how much energy you will save.
