Tony and Miriam have lived in this detached Edwardian house for 20 years. Through a desire to reduce the house and family’s carbon footprint and to save money, they installed solar thermal water heating. As an installer of renewable energy systems (Riomay), Tony chose ‘evacuated tubes’, convinced they were more efficient than other solar thermal technologies.
The system provides hot water to both the house and swimming pool. Tony and Miriam have also installed a high efficiency condensing boiler, and fitted thermostatic controls on all radiators to reduce their energy and carbon emissions further.
