When you invest in a new build home, you’re not just buying bricks and mortar—you’re choosing a lifestyle that can dramatically lower your energy costs and your environmental impact. Recent research by Kingfisher highlights the staggering £3.8 billion extra spent annually by UK households in energy-inefficient homes. At Kendrick Homes, we’re dedicated to building smarter, more sustainable homes that help you save money and live greener.
Why a Kendrick Home Stands Out
Every Kendrick home is thoughtfully designed to achieve at least a B energy efficiency rating. This isn’t just about meeting regulations—it’s about creating spaces where families can thrive, with lower running costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
Stay Comfortable Year-Round with High-Performance Insulation
Our homes are fitted with premium-grade insulation to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer. This reduces the need for heating and air conditioning, helping you save on energy bills while enjoying consistent comfort throughout the year.
Cut Energy Use with LED Lighting
Lighting accounts for a significant portion of household energy use. That’s why we install LED lighting throughout our homes. LEDs are up to 90% more efficient than traditional bulbs, last much longer, and deliver excellent brightness—saving you money while reducing energy consumption.
Save Water and Reduce Waste
Selected Kendrick homes come equipped with rainwater butts for garden irrigation and composting areas to encourage sustainable waste management. These features help homeowners embrace greener living and reduce their household’s environmental footprint.
Efficient Windows That Keep Bills Down
Heat loss through windows can significantly impact energy bills. That’s why we fit high-performance UPVC double-glazed windows in every home. These windows improve thermal efficiency, keeping warmth inside during colder months and reducing the need for artificial heating.
A-Rated Appliances for Everyday Savings
All our kitchens and utility spaces are equipped with A-rated appliances, which are designed to use less energy and water. This ensures you save money on running costs while still enjoying top-tier performance.
Future-Ready with Electric Car Chargers
As the UK moves towards a greener transport future, having a dedicated electric car charging point at home is becoming a necessity. That’s why every Kendrick home includes one as standard, ensuring you’re ready for the road ahead.
Innovative Heating with Air Source Heat Pumps
Traditional boilers are often less efficient and rely on fossil fuels. Our homes are equipped with air source heat pumps, which extract heat from the air outside to warm your home and water. This cutting-edge technology significantly lowers your carbon footprint and energy bills.
Why a New Build Home is Better
Older properties often lack the energy-saving features found in modern new builds, meaning higher running costs and a bigger environmental impact. With a new Kendrick home, you’ll benefit from cutting-edge construction methods, sustainable materials, and features that help reduce energy consumption from day one. Plus, our homes are designed to last, giving you peace of mind that you’re investing in quality.
A Greener Commitment
At Kendrick Homes, sustainability is at the core of what we do. For every home we build, we plant a tree in the National Forest. With our 650th tree recently planted, we’re actively contributing to reforestation and carbon reduction. Choosing a Kendrick home means aligning with a developer that prioritizes the planet’s future alongside your comfort and convenience.
A new Kendrick home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a smart investment in energy efficiency, sustainability, and modern living.
