Home Energy Assessment — Find Out Exactly Where You Are Losing Money
Stop guessing and start saving. A professional energy assessment reveals the biggest sources of heat loss in your home and gives you a prioritised plan to fix them.
With energy bills at record levels — electricity at 24.67p/kWh and gas at 6.76p/kWh — many homeowners know they need to act but are unsure where to start. A professional home energy assessment takes the guesswork out of the equation. Using thermal imaging, air tightness testing, and detailed analysis of your property's construction, heating system, and energy usage, an assessor can identify exactly where your money is going and which improvements will deliver the biggest return on investment.

What Is Assessment?
A home energy assessment is a comprehensive survey of your property's energy performance carried out by a qualified energy assessor. It goes beyond a standard EPC by using thermal imaging cameras to detect heat loss, measuring air tightness, inspecting insulation levels, and analysing your heating system efficiency. The result is a detailed, personalised report that prioritises improvements by cost, savings potential, and available grants — giving you a clear roadmap to a warmer, cheaper-to-run home.
How It Works
Book Your Assessment
Schedule a visit with a qualified energy assessor. The assessment typically takes two to three hours and covers every aspect of your home's energy performance.
Thermal Imaging Survey
The assessor uses a thermal imaging camera to identify areas of heat loss, cold bridging, and missing insulation that are invisible to the naked eye.
Detailed Inspection
Your insulation levels, heating system, windows, doors, ventilation, and lighting are all inspected and recorded against current best-practice standards.
Personalised Report
You receive a comprehensive report with prioritised recommendations, estimated costs, projected savings, and information on available grants for each measure.
Is It Right for My Home?
A home energy assessment is beneficial for any homeowner or landlord, regardless of property type or age. It is particularly valuable if you are unsure where to start with energy improvements, planning a renovation, preparing to sell or let a property, or wanting to understand your EPC rating and how to improve it. Some local authorities and energy suppliers offer free or subsidised assessments for eligible households.
Key Benefits
Identify Hidden Heat Loss
Thermal imaging reveals heat escaping through walls, roofs, windows, and floors that you cannot see or feel, pinpointing the most impactful improvements.
Prioritised Action Plan
Receive a clear, ordered list of improvements ranked by cost-effectiveness so you know exactly where to invest first for the biggest savings.
Grant Eligibility Check
Your assessor identifies which grants and funding schemes you qualify for, potentially covering the full cost of recommended improvements.
Improve EPC Rating
Understand your current EPC band and get specific guidance on how to improve it, which is increasingly important for property values and lettings regulations.
Avoid Wasted Spending
By understanding your home's specific needs, you avoid spending money on measures that won't deliver meaningful savings for your property.
Whole-House Approach
An assessment considers how different measures interact, ensuring that improvements are planned in the right order for maximum combined benefit.
