Energy-efficiency
Enjoy energy efficient, low carbon living
At Keepmoat, we build homes that are warm, energy‑efficient, sustainable, and more affordable to run. Every home is designed to help you live more comfortably, lower your energy bills, and reduce your carbon footprint — supporting a cleaner, greener future for everyone.
Save Money on Your Energy Bills
New build homes deliver exceptional energy efficiency, helping you enjoy a warmer, more comfortable home with lower running costs, with people living in new builds saving around 23% on their energy bills. On average, this equates to savings of roughly £450 a year* compared with older properties, with new build homeowners spending about £1,530 annually compared to £1,980 for those in older homes. Even older properties with an F or G EPC rating cost around £630 more per year to run than the average new build.
Better EPC Ratings, Better for the Planet
Just like your household appliances, homes are energy rated from A to G. This helps you understand how efficient they are and how much carbon they produce.
- 99% of Keepmoat homes achieve an EPC B rating or better.
- The average new build home emits around 2,160kg of carbon per year.
- Most older homes have an EPC D rating, producing around 3,240kg of carbon annually — 50% more than a new build.
- Even older homes with an EPC F or G emit around 3,780kg of carbon, which is 74% more than most new builds.
New build homes don’t just save you money — they also cut carbon emissions by up to 50% every year* compared to older homes.
