Whole home energy saving

Work has begun on a green voids project, to make our empty homes more energy efficient before new tenants move in.

Jointly funded by us and the Welsh Government, 45 homes have been selected for improvements.

A three-bedroom, semi-detached in Caewern, Neath has been part of the programme. It has benefitted from new windows, doors, roof, solar panel, loft and floor insulation, a new heating system, together with a new kitchen and bathroom.

The energy rating has gone from a D to a B, meaning a much more comfortable, energy efficient home for a new tenant to enjoy.

Liam Gadd, Voids and Works of Adaptations Manager said:
“Each of our 45 voids as part of this programme have been looked at on an individual basis to see what measures can be introduced to help reduce the carbon footprint of each home, helping us reach net zero by 2030.”
