Imagine a home that not only shelters you and your family, but also works for you by reducing your bills and shrinking your carbon footprint. According to data published by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) in January 2025*, 86% of new builds have an A or B PEC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating, making heating, hot water and lighting costs 50% cheaper. The average owner of a new build home will pay just over £800 a year for these utilities, compared to £1,789 for those who live in older properties. This is an annual saving of £979.
With better insulation, modern heating systems and energy-saving features included as standard, Jones Homes buyers benefit from lower monthly bills while also reducing their environmental impact. New build homes also emit 65% less carbon a year, making a new home a more environmentally friendly option too.
