Finding ways to save money is always important, so choosing a new-build Beal home is a super smart move!
You’ll enjoy all the comforts and peace of mind that come with a brand-new, bespoke Beal home, plus you’ll benefit from reduced energy bills.
Newly-released figures from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) show just how much more energy efficient new-build homes are, compared to older properties:
- New build homes are, on average, 64% more energy efficient, saving homeowners up to £183 a month on energy bills – that’s a whopping £2,207 a year!
- On average, new-build bungalows are 56% more energy efficient, saving about £132 a month, which adds up to over £1,580 a year.
- These homes also produce 61% less carbon annually, emitting just 1.29 tonnes compared to 3.52 tonnes from older properties.
- An impressive 85% of new build properties achieve an A or B Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, while less than 5% of older homes meet this standard. At Beal 100% of properties achieve an A or B EPC rating.
Every Beal home comes with an A or B rating, which exceeds the industry standard for energy efficiency. Our homes are designed to keep heat in, they include thermally-efficient windows, enhanced insulation, waste water heat recovery units and roof-mounted solar panels. Plus, they’re ready for future electric vehicle charging installations.
The HBF research highlights that new homes create much less carbon dioxide (CO2) than older ones. On average, new builds emit 61% less CO2, which means about 2.16 tonnes less per home each year. In 2023, this resulted in a total reduction of 500,000 tonnes in carbon emissions from new builds. Homes built under new regulations after June 2023 will emit 73% less CO2, saving over 2.5 tonnes per property each year.
So, choosing a Beal home isn’t just about having a brand-new, luxury place to live; it’s a smart way to save on running costs, while making a positive contribution to our planet’s future!
