A complete energy upgrade may involve improvements to insulation, windows, doors, heating systems, and even the addition of renewable energy sources like solar panels. We customise each upgrade to suit your property’s unique needs and maximise energy efficiency.
The duration of an upgrade depends on the scope of work required. Smaller projects may take a few weeks, while comprehensive upgrades could extend over a few months. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the planning phase to ensure minimal disruption.
Yes, improving energy efficiency can increase property value, as homes with better energy ratings are often more attractive to buyers. Additionally, energy upgrades can reduce utility bills, which adds further value by lowering long-term costs.
A domestic energy assessment measures your property’s energy efficiency, looking at factors like insulation, heating systems, and overall energy usage. It results in an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which rates your property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Our preparation service identifies areas where simple upgrades could significantly impact your energy rating. By addressing these areas before the official assessment, you can improve your score and potentially save on energy costs in the long term.
While an EPC is required if you’re selling or renting out your property, many homeowners find value in having one to understand their property’s energy efficiency. An EPC can also help you identify cost-effective ways to reduce your energy consumption and environmental impact.
Our consultation starts with an initial assessment of your property and a discussion about your sustainability goals. We then create a personalised report with recommendations for energy improvements tailored to your needs and budget.
The initial consultation typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the scope of your goals and property size. After this session, we provide a detailed report within a few days, which we’ll review with you to discuss next steps.
No, there is no obligation to proceed with further services after the consultation. Our aim is to provide you with clear, valuable insights to help you make the best decisions for your home. You can choose to implement the recommendations at your own pace.
Smart home technology allows you to control and monitor your home’s energy use in real-time, leading to potential savings on energy bills. It also offers convenience and enhanced comfort, as you can adjust settings like lighting and temperature from anywhere, using a smartphone or device.
Yes, smart home devices can help reduce energy waste by optimising how and when energy is used. For example, smart thermostats learn your habits and adjust heating and cooling to minimise usage when you’re not home, while smart lighting systems can reduce electricity usage by automating lights based on occupancy.
We take care of the entire setup process, ensuring each device is properly integrated and configured to meet your needs. Our team provides support and guidance throughout, making the transition to a smarter, more efficient home seamless and stress-free.
