Allison Homes East reaches highest levels of energy efficiency at Peterborough development

Situated off Deer Park Way, Abbey Park consists of a stunning range of 68 three and four bedroom detached homes, which all feature solar panels and EV charging points as standard.

An EPC rating is used to measure a building’s energy efficiency. Properties receive a score from A to G, with A being at the top of the scale and demonstrating that the home reaches the highest levels of energy efficiency.

On average, 86 per cent of new build homes are rated A or B, whereas less than five per cent of older homes have the same score*. Just over seven per cent of new homes are rated A, compared to only 0.30 per cent of existing properties*.

The homes at Abbey Park have achieved this rating due to the use of solar panels and a system called Waste Water Heat Recovery (WWHR). This system re-uses heat from hot water that would usually run down the drain after a shower to pre-heat the fresh, cold water coming into the home.

Allison Homes East’s properties also feature a Flue Gas Heat Recovery (FGHR) device that collects heat which would normally go through the flue (a duct or pipe) and be wasted. This heat is recycled back through the boiler to help heat up cold water. By using both WWHR and FGHR systems, the boiler doesn’t need to work as hard to heat water up, resulting in lower energy bills.

By purchasing a new build house, homeowners can save over £1,980 a year and £165 a month on their energy bills*. These savings result in residents having energy bills that are 65 per cent cheaper than bills for older properties*.

Kelly Toms, Sales and Marketing Director at Allison Homes East, said: “We take pride in providing people with homes that are energy efficient and sustainable, so our residents can live more comfortably and benefit from having lower bills.

“All our homes at Abbey Park are designed with superior insulation, heating systems and low energy appliances and lighting. We would encourage anyone who is looking to move to a brand-new home to get in touch with our sales team and find out how they can enjoy an eco-friendly lifestyle at Abbey Park.”
