With thanks to Hayley for sharing this case study with us.

Type of house, including rough date it was built: unsure on age. 3 bedroom house with kitchen/diner extension 

Improvements carried out: Air source heat pump, Solar PV and battery 

Future plans for improvements: Eventually extend into attic and add more solar 

What went right? What improvement have you seen or benefitted from as a result? Currently 55% self sufficient, Saving money on bills, Hotter water.

What went wrong? What would you do differently? Any barriers that were identified?: Originally planned to have solar on the roof but given the plans for an extension it made sense to put them on the flat roof to save disturbing them later on. 

One thing I wish I’d known is: How addictive it is to track my energy 

My top tip for a Future Fit Home is: Find a supplier you trust- don’t automatically pick the big company
