With a £4k heat pump and new insulation and ventilation, an energy expert living in Lewisham says her house is warmer and cheaper to run
With a £4k heat pump and new insulation and ventilation, an energy expert living in Lewisham says her house is warmer and cheaper to run
The loft was already insulated, which was a bonus, but being a Victorian property there was no insulation in the front or back walls or flooring. Bushell was determined to retain the brick facade of her home, so installed woodfibre board internally, which prevents heat escaping in winter and rooms from overheating in hot summers, plastered with breathable lime.
She anticipates the cost of retrofitting will come down over the next few years as it has for solar panels. “The more skilled workers there are, the more prices drop,” she says. “I want it to be a bit like going to McDonald’s: you ask your builder to put in a side return and they upsell you new insulation, ventilation and a heat pump.”
