Independent energy advice · UK

Cut your energy bills — independent advice, not just solar.

Every installer's quote is a sales document. We're not — we don't sell or fit a thing. For £100 (home) or £300 (business) we read your whole bill and show you every worthwhile way to cut it — not just solar.

Where are you overpaying? One audit checks the lot:
  • Whether a heat pump is right for you — and what the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant covers
  • Whether your tariff is competitive — and the smart tariff that shifts your load to the cheap window
  • The solar size that actually pays — with 0% VAT and the right SEG export rate
  • If a battery stacks up on your tariff — or if it doesn't yet
  • The grants & the 0% VAT window you qualify for, and the deadlines that matter
  • Equipment worth trusting, MCS-certified and chosen on merit — and a step-by-step plan

Illustrative sample · your report models sizes against your actual usage

Clean energy for homes has become confusing on purpose.

Every installer's quote is shaped by what's in their warehouse and what earns them the most margin. Sizing, batteries, heat pumps, the grants, the smart tariffs — it's hard to know who's giving you straight advice.

We sit on your side of the table. We don't sell or install anything, so the only thing our advice is shaped by is what's right for your home and your bill.

How it works

Three steps. No site visit, no sales call.

Everything runs off your most recent energy bill and a few details about your home.

01

Send us your bill

Upload your latest energy bill and tell us about your home, your usage, and any solar you already have. Takes a few minutes.

02

We engineer your audit

We decode your bill, model the numbers against your actual consumption, and our engineering team & an MCS-certified designer review every report before it goes out.

03

Get your independent report

A clear 6–8 page report: what suits your home, what it'll save, and exactly what to insist on when you get quotes.

What's in your audit

Straight, engineered advice — for homes and businesses.

Homes and businesses overpay in different places, so the two audits look at different things. Here's what each one covers.

For your home Residential · £100
01 · Bill

Your bill, decoded

Unit rate, standing charge and whether you're on the right smart tariff — and what to switch.

02 · Solar

Which size pays

ROI on several sizes against your usage, net of 0% VAT, with the SEG export rate.

03 · Battery

Does storage stack up?

Whether a battery pays yet on your tariff — and the honest answer if it doesn't.

04 · Heat pump

Heat pump & the grant

Is an air-source heat pump right for you, and what the £7,500 grant covers.

05 · Tariffs

Smart-tariff strategy

Shift big loads into the cheap window — often the fastest saving, no capital spend.

06 · Equipment

Gear we'd trust

MCS-certified, brand-independent picks chosen on performance and value, not commission.

07 · Install

What to insist on

MCS certification, DNO connection, SEG registration — the things quotes leave out.

08 · Plan

Your action plan

Sequenced by payback, so you know exactly what to do first — and what can wait.

For your business Commercial · £300
01 · Tariff

Your tariff, decoded

Whether you're on the right supply and demand tariff — and what switching or renegotiating is worth.

02 · Demand

Demand-charge reduction

Half-hourly analysis of the peak-demand spikes driving your bill, and how to flatten them.

03 · Solar

Solar sized to your load

Sized to your actual consumption for maximum self-consumption — not an oversized system.

04 · Storage

Storage & peak shaving

Whether a battery pays by shaving peak demand and shifting load — or if it doesn't stack up yet.

05 · Tax

Capital allowances

How the AIA / first-year allowance changes the real after-tax cost of the project.

06 · Efficiency

Power factor & loads

Power-factor correction, HVAC, refrigeration and process loads — the operational wins worth chasing.

07 · Metering

Metering & monitoring

What to measure so the savings are verified over time, not just assumed.

08 · Plan

A staged capex plan

Sequenced by payback and ROI — ready to take to your board or your installer.

Why us

We don't sell systems. We tell you what's right.

That one fact changes everything about the advice you get. Even the "free" comparison sites get paid by the installer they send you to — we take nothing from any installer, so the only thing our advice is shaped by is what's right for you.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to already have solar?

No. If you don't have solar, we model which system size would actually pay off for your home. If you do, we check whether it's sized right, performing, and worth expanding.

What do I need to provide?

Your most recent energy bill and a few details about your home and how you use power. No site visit or sales call — it all runs off your bill.

Are you going to try to sell me a system?

No. We don't sell or install anything. You pay for the audit, and that's the whole transaction. Take our advice to any installer you like.

How long does it take?

You'll have your reviewed report back within a few business days. Every report is checked and signed off by our engineering team & an MCS-certified designer before it reaches you.

Is the advice reliable?

Reports are engineered from your actual consumption and reviewed by our engineering team & an MCS-certified designer. Figures are estimates, not guarantees — final design is confirmed by your installer.
