Well, thanks to smart green technology \u2013 like heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, and smart energy tariffs \u2013 that\u2019s already a reality for households who\u2019ve made the switch to low-carbon living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rightmove research shows there has been almost 40% more mentions of solar panels in property descriptions of homes for sale in 2025, compared to the same period last year. <br><br>In February 2024, a Cleantech report found 43% of sellers would be looking to attach a premium to more energy-efficient homes. Plus, 37% said that homes with greater energy efficiency were holding their value in the current market, when compared to less energy-efficient homes (Cleantech Report).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"can-green-tech-cut-your-energy-bills\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can green tech cut your energy bills?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Homes with solar panels, batteries and heat pumps, teamed with smart energy tariffs, are seeing chunky annual savings on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebecca Dibb-Simkin from Octopus Energy says: \u201cHomes with a heat pump, smart tariff, and mid-sized solar array have <strong>40% cheaper bills*<\/strong>, compared to like-for-like new-build homes with gas heating. And people can eliminate their energy bills entirely by having larger amounts of solar, battery storage and an appropriate smart tariff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Octopus Energy estimates that households could save up to \u00a31,050** a year<\/strong> by combining solar panels and a battery with its Intelligent Octopus Flux smart tariff\u2014compared to similar homes on a standard tariff without solar. This figure is based on a medium-sized UK home (as defined by the energy regulator, Ofgem) with 10 solar panels, and a 5 kWh battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to heat pumps, Octopus Energy estimates<strong> homeowners can save up to \u00a3496**<\/strong> by making the switch from a gas boiler to a heat pump. This is based on a home with \u2018high\u2019 energy usage (according to Ofgem\u2019s average household usage stats) and no gas supply, running on the Cosy Octopus smart tariff, compared to a gas boiler on the Flexible Octopus tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-about-property-value\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about property value?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research from the University of Cambridge suggests that <strong>new-build homes<\/strong> with enough solar and battery storage and a heat pump could be worth <strong>up to 16% more<\/strong>&nbsp; for a home when built to &#8216;Zero Bills Home&#8217; specification&nbsp;which includes heat pump, solar panels and batteries. Suggesting homebuyers are willing to pay a premium for the ability to generate and store their own power at home, and the prospect of lower energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For existing homes with solar panels, the value uplift is typically around 2\u20133%. While modest, this increase, combined with savings from generating power and potential earnings from exporting it, can help offset some or all of the system\u2019s costs \u2013 making it a worthy investment. There&#8217;s also evidence to suggest that low running costs and built-in green tech is appealing to buyers who recognise the benefits of producing their own power at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"can-green-tech-improve-borrowing-power\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can green tech improve borrowing power?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower energy bills free up disposable income, meaning people could potentially afford to responsibly borrow more. Banks are increasingly looking at whether green tech homes could allow for responsible adjustments to mortgage affordability assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some mortgage providers also offer <strong>green mortgage products, <\/strong>which can be used to fund energy efficient upgrades, or to finance properties that have already achieved high EPC ratings. <br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/mortgages\/guides\/mortgage-types\/green-mortgages\/\">Read more about green mortgages here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-some-other-benefits-of-a-green-tech-home\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some other benefits of a green tech home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a growing focus on the health benefits of switching to green technology at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cities like London, more than <strong>20% of nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions<\/strong> come from gas boilers and cookers \u2014 pollutants linked to asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Access to affordable, clean household energy is key to reducing air pollution and improving public health, according to the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing gas with electricity \u2013 whether by installing a heat pump or by reducing reliance on the grid through solar \u2013 can make a tangible difference to local air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"are-people-whove-already-made-the-switch-happy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are people who\u2019ve already made the switch happy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to an Octopus Energy survey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>91% of people with a heat pump are satisfied<\/strong> with their new heating system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That compares with just <strong>74% satisfaction<\/strong> among households with gas boilers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-about-the-upfront-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about the upfront cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Green upgrades like solar panels and heat pumps can require a significant upfront investment.
