Each Story home is designed with energy efficiency in mind, but there are a few simple things our customers can do to save energy, stay warm and reduce their carbon footprint…
A Story home is built to a high standard but remembering to engage the compression seal on external doors and using curtains in the evenings can help retain warmth even more.
Use the thermostat and programmer to heat the home only when needed – efficient and comfortable.
Open blinds and curtains during the day to let the sun naturally warm the rooms through thermal transference. Turn off lights when they are not being used or when leaving a room.
Leave on extractor fans and open trickle vents to prevent condensation and maintain good air quality without losing too much heat.
Such as showering instead of taking a bath or turning the taps off while brushing your teeth. Ensure the kettle is only filled to the amount needed, rather than filling it to the maximum every time. Never leave appliances on standby, as devices such as TVs, games consoles and PC monitors use up a lot of energy while on standby.
These simple tips could help you save energy, and money making a Story home a great investment.
