Are you over-shadowed?

The sun gives free light and warmth.

However, if your home is over-shadowed by trees or hedges which are poorly maintained and have got too tall, you will be losing out on receiving the benefits of this free energy source.

The worst culprits are firs which grow fast - hence their popularity - and which don't lose their foliage in Winter, providing you with year-round darkness.

And of course, the culprit may not be on your land, and we understand the awkwardness this can cause when looking for a way to rectify this issue. However, losing out on free energy seems like a good reason to investigate whether a resolution can be found.
