Class A construction, giving the highest level of insulation possible in the roof, walls, and windows, and these energy saving attributes will reduce heating costs by over fifty percent to comply with 2009 EC energy saving regulations. There are two methods for power and water heating. The photovoltaic system which is set into the roof and invisible from below provides independent 3.5kw peak hour energy, and this is fed into the local electricity grid. There are no standing charges for this system, and the excess power added to the grid is paid to the owners of the property by the electricity company, thereby providing extra income. Hot water is provided by solar panels. High quality workmanship throughout.
