As the UK transitions away from fossil fuels, what are the options for powering your home in the future?

In the near future, gas and oil will no longer be the default option for heating our homes. Petersfield Climate Action Network and Liphook Climate Action Network invite you to explore our all-electric homes of the future, at a free talk on Thursday 17th September.

From solar PV generation and storage batteries to efficient heating, flexible tariffs, EV charging and cooling our homes, the opportunities are both exciting and daunting. Industry expert and Royal College of Science associate Bean Beanland will describe the technologies, outline how they work, and explain the benefits they can bring – from lower energy bills to a smaller carbon footprint. He will look at installation and financing challenges too, and you will have an opportunity to ask your questions.

The event will conclude with information about the free, impartial energy advice service, My Home Made Better - run by the experienced advice team at PeCAN working alongside energy advisers at the Environment Centre (tEC). Advisers could help you understand why your home might be losing heat in winter, what’s causing high energy bills, and whether there might be opportunities for you to make the most of grant funding, earn money back from the grid, or increase your property’s overall value. Recipients have told PeCAN that the advice offered is ‘clear and extremely helpful’.

This free talk will be held at Liphook Millennium Centre from 7pm on Thursday 17th September, and you are invited to book your place. Doors will open at 6.30pm.

Bean Beanland has over 17 years' experience, including eight years with an installation contractor, in energy and carbon mitigation strategy and in conceptual technology selection, procurement and the installation of mechanical services and renewable technologies. He has recently featured as an expert panelist on Radio 4 Evan Davis' Heat Pump Challenge.
