Make a house an eco home

"Our message to customers is that small changes in lifestyle can make big differences to energy bills" Andrew Carnie, Electrical Trading Manager, Homebase

What we did

We’ve given customers a big ECO boost with expert advice through ‘ecohome’ displays that instantly show them how they can use our products to save energy. 50 stores also have walk-in 3D versions of the ecohome house. 

Customers don’t have to visit a store to benefit – there’s an ecohome section on Homebase.co.uk detailing our products and services. It also provides a DIY loft insulation calculator and a green living section with tips, advice and helpful case studies.

Why we did it

By helping customers make their homes more sustainable and reduce their energy bills, we believe we can make Homebase the first choice destination for energy saving advice and solutions.

How we did it

With help from our energy partners, EoN, we designed free-standing ecohome displays for all Homebase stores and 3D displays for 50 Homebase stores. The 3D displays house touchscreens that show insulation and solar panels being installed and illustrate how they work. The also show a number of other energy saving ideas.
