Save on fuel bills with Persimmon Homes
Malmesbury-based Persimmon Homes Wessex is now building homes across the region that are 50 per cent more energy efficient than traditional houses, meaning savvy homeowners looking to move could save hundreds of pounds on fuel bills each year.
With the price of household fuels rising each year, energy efficiency has never been more important. This is why to help save its customers money on their heating bills, Persimmon now builds a number of its homes using a timber framework at three developments across the region, including Dauncey Gardens in Melksham, Saxon Gate in Salisbury and Isambard Place in Swindon, instead of traditional building methods, which helps reduce heat loss.
These timber frame houses are built and supplied by Space4, the UK’s largest timber frame manufacturer. Each wall, floor and roof panel is constructed in a factory, which enables additional insulation to be included in the build process and it is this that reduces the level of energy wasted.
To put this into context, a Space4 home, compared to a 1970’s specification house, can help home owners reduce gas energy costs by as much as 43 per cent.
Chris Hagan, managing director at Space4 explains: “We use the very latest insulation techniques to ensure our homes are easy to heat and keep warm, so that the homeowner is comfortable and heating bills are kept minimal. In fact, the benefits of our construction methods to the homeowner are so incredible that we have seen sales increase by 50 per cent in the last year.”
Bryan Leeming, construction director for Persimmon Homes Wessex, adds: “We don’t just provide our customers with a great deal on a new home - we also look at ways to reduce the ongoing running costs of the property. Our timber frame buildings are a great option for anyone looking to save on their fuel bills and we are pleased to be able to offer our customers the chance to move into a Space4 home at three developments across the region.”
