Cherished 1960's Family Home Retrofit with Vehicle to Grid, Oakington (online tour)

Open ECO home online tour:

Meet your host, Paul

This was our family home from 1969. Now there is just my Mum and me. Following a disabling accident at work, I moved back in in October 2016 with the idea that by living with my Mum, we could hopefully look after each other rather than struggle separately. As a family, we have always been environmentally-minded. Having moved back to the property, I was able to become an early adopter of an Electric Vehicle in 2017, which then led to my joining a Vehicle-to-Grid trial and I am now a Vehicle-to-Home-to-Grid pioneer. This prompted me into thinking of ways to make all our renovations greener and more energy efficient.

We took the opportunity to combine the eco renovation work with upgrades and improvements to our home, including: new layouts to both floors of the house, while retaining much cherished characteristics of the original house. With the ASHP and kitchen becoming all-electric, we are now  free of gas.
