Home Energy Efficiency

Home Energy Efficiency Tool

Just a few changes could help your clients reduce the energy they use and save money on their household bills.

With support from Energy Saving Trust we've created a handy tool that shows your clients how to make their property more efficient and how they could save money on their energy bills. It’s quick and easy to use – they just need to answer a few simple questions to generate a personalised plan with recommendations.

We’ve worked with Energy Saving Trust to help you create a personalised Home Energy Efficiency plan. You can use the tool to understand which updates or renovations to your home may save you money and could make it more energy efficient. All costs provided are estimates and based on the information you provide, so the more accurate you can be, the better.

Create an action plan to help your clients to:

Understand their current and potential EPC. This tool gives an estimated EPC rating if they don’t have an up-to-date certificate on the EPC register

Find out their home’s carbon emissions

See current estimated energy costs* and potential savings (if you know the detail of your client’s energy use from their bills, you will get tailored recommendations and more accurate potential energy savings)

See suggested home improvements based on the desired budget

Save, share and update it over time

*Energy Saving Trust estimate your annual energy costs based upon the information you’ve provided and using the lower of either the most up-to-date Energy Price Guarantee, or Energy Price Cap. The Energy Price Cap changes every three months, in January, April, July and October. Energy Saving Trust aim to update energy costs within two weeks of the new Price Caps implementation.

To get started

Your client will need to know some details about their property - how many rooms there are and what kind of heating system they have, for example. But if they don't know the answer to a question the tool will automatically use suggested answers for them, based on what Energy Saving Trust know about the area they live in. The tool is only a guide, but it could give your client some great ideas on how small changes could make a real difference.

By creating the plan on behalf of your client(s) you confirm you have their permission as stated in our Privacy Notice.
