It seems that the rising costs of gas, electricity and water are really starting to hurt, encouraging people to look for cheaper or more efficient methods of running their homes.
N&P asked people if they were ever to have a home built to their individual requirements, would they incorporate green features such as solar panels, a wind turbine, or ground source heat pumps? An impressive 87% of people said that they would, which is an increase of 6% on last year, when the same question was posed to customers. Of the remaining 13%, who said they would not use green features, nearly a third (30%) said they were worried about cost and 40% said they felt they did not know enough about it. 24% said they were ‘not interested' and the remaining 6% did not give a reason.
