A step-by-step guide to saving energy at home
You can do most of this yourself with a bill and an hour. We've written it out so you can — and so you know exactly what we'd be doing in your home. It's the same order we follow on every Manchester home fit, from terraces in Chorlton to new builds in Trafford.
- 01
Read your meter and your bill together
Find your annual kWh (not just the pounds). Note your unit rate, standing charge and whether you're on a fixed, standard or time-of-use tariff. This one number drives every decision that follows.
- 02
Map when you actually use power
Morning showers, daytime working, evening cooking, overnight EV charging. Load shape matters more than total usage — it decides whether a battery pays back in three years or eight.
- 03
Check the fabric before the technology
Loft insulation, draughts, hot water cylinder jacket, radiator balancing. Cheap fixes first. There's no sense generating expensive electricity to heat a leaky house.
- 04
Size generation and storage to the house
Roof orientation, shading and pitch set realistic solar output. Battery capacity should match your evening load and your tariff's cheap window — not the biggest box available.
- 05
Get the tariff and the controls right
The right time-of-use tariff plus automated charging can be worth as much as extra hardware. We set the schedule up, then check the first month's data with you.
