A recent report by Electrify Britain indicates that 58% of Brits feel envious of neighbors' eco-friendly homes, particularly those with green technology like solar panels and heat pumps. This trend is partly fueled by rising energy bills. The report reveals that many homeowners are eager to invest in these upgrades, with nearly half considering solar panels influenced by their neighbors. Notably, lower energy costs drive this interest; however, 67% are unaware of the potential for fully electric homes to reduce energy bills significantly.
"You could almost say electric tech is contagious," says Camilla Born, CEO of Electrify Britain. "If your friend, neighbour or relative has the latest electric car, solar or a heat pump and they're cutting their bills, of course you're going to want to be part of the action."
Nearly half (46%) of those surveyed said they'd consider installing solar panels if their neighbours did - and 29% said they'd prioritize these types of electric upgrades over more traditional home improvements like a new kitchen (18%) or landscaping the garden (12%).
