How to cut your bills and go greener this Big Energy Saving Week
Energy prices are on everyone’s minds at the moment, and Big Energy Saving Week is a reminder to think about how we use – and pay for – energy in our homes.
For more than a decade, we’ve been helping homeowners across the UK lower their energy bills and make their homes more efficient. From solar panels and battery storage to air source heat pumps and EV chargers, there are countless smart ways to cut costs and shrink your carbon footprint, and many of them can start making a difference right away.
Install solar panels
Solar panels are one of the most effective ways to take control of your energy and lower your bills. They’ll power your home for free, and any excess electricity can be sent back to the grid, which could earn you money back. In the long term, the savings can be significant, and a well-installed system is built to last for decades.
We’ve installed thousands of solar systems, and we take care of everything from start to finish. That means a high-quality system with outstanding service and aftercare. We can offer safety checks, maintenance and cleaning services as part of your package, in addition to upgrades on your existing installation if we think you could be getting more power for a lower cost.
Solar batteries – get the most from your energy
Adding a solar battery is another way to make your energy go further. It stores electricity so you can use it when you need it most, such as in the evening when grid electricity is more expensive. You don’t even need solar panels to benefit from a battery, although together they make a really powerful combination.
Heat your home with an air source heat pump
Heating is one of the biggest energy costs for most households, so choosing an efficient system can make a real difference to your bills. Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) offer a smart, low‑carbon alternative to traditional boilers by extracting heat from the air outside and using it to warm your home.
As fully MCS‑accredited installers, we ensure every ASHP system meets the highest standards of quality, safety and long‑term performance – giving you complete confidence in its reliability and efficiency.
Right now, you could also receive £7,500 towards the installation through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme. We’ll guide you through the eligibility process and handle the grant application on your behalf.
Switching to a greener tariff
Have you thought about switching your energy provider? This could be a quick win to saving some money on your energy bills. Through our partnership with Octopus Energy, you can access tariffs that are smarter, greener and often cheaper. Switch via us and you’ll also get £50 off your first bill!

Small changes that make a big difference
Alongside renewable technology, there are plenty of small changes that can help reduce your bills. For example, using heating only when and where you need it, switching to LED bulbs, unplugging appliances when they’re not in use, washing clothes at lower temperatures, and making sure your home is well-insulated.
When combined with solar panels, a battery or a smarter tariff, these small changes add up, and they all contribute to making your home more energy-efficient and greener.
