In November 2023, we switched energy suppliers to Octopus Energy, who are one of Europe's largest investors in renewable power.

They are transparent about all their operational procedures (from man power to generating power) and have won several important awards within their industry.

✅ As of April 2024, we have personally saved 77kg of CO2 emissions, which is as much as 39 trees absorb in a year! 

✅ Our external lighting is either solar powered, or motion sensor

✅ We check before buying, that appliances we have provided are as energy efficient as possible. Our shower, dishwasher and washing machine all have 'eco' settings, should you wish to help us save water and energy.

✅The appliances are checked on every changeover and externally PAT tested every year to ensure they are still safe to use and working to optimal efficiency.

✅ Our gas boiler, providing heating and hot water, is part of the Vaillant ecoTec range, and is regularly maintained and serviced to ensure it continues to work in a highly efficient manner.

✅ When we converted the OCH, we insulated the property with ecocork lime plaster. This, combined with our slimline double glazed windows ensures the minimal amount of heat is required to maintain a warm and cosy environment for our guests.

✅ We monitor energy use with regular meter readings and are able to spot unusual surges in power consumption.
