Home Energy Watch is our monthly remote service for homeowners and small businesses. In the first month (£100) we review your property remotely — your tariff, your usage, and how you heat your home and run hot water — and send you a written advisory plan: what to do, in what order, and what each step involves.

After that, £30 a month: we keep an eye on your tariff and usage and get in touch when we spot something worth acting on — a cheaper tariff, a habit that's costing you, or a fix worth doing sooner.

You share your readings or bill details; we do the looking. No equipment to buy, no jargon, no pressure.

This is advice, not a formal EPC, building survey or electrical test, and we can't promise a set saving — what we can do is make sure you know where your money is going and what to do next.

Our practical home energy report connects a property’s systems with your priorities as a buyer. Depending on the property and support you need, we can review an online listing remotely and send guidance by email, or arrange an in-person walk-around. It can support you at a first viewing, form part of monthly support, and be carried out before or after an offer. The level of service can range from straightforward guidance to a fuller review with indicative cost estimates. For any on-site work, access must be arranged with the seller or their agent; it is never unrestricted. We state the assumptions behind likely running costs, and consider heating and hot-water use and controls, practical electrical efficiency and smart controls, and—where relevant—the suitability of solar and battery or water-management options. You receive actions, priorities, sequencing and indicative costs to help you weigh up options and plan for the longer term.

The reports answer different questions. A mortgage valuation is primarily for the lender’s valuation needs. A building survey considers condition, defects and repairs, with scope varying by survey. An EPC gives a standardised energy rating and recommendations. Our practical report complements these by connecting systems and buyer priorities, including practical household-use and staged-budget questions that standard reports may not explore in this detail. It does not replace a structural or building survey, a formal EPC, electrical safety tests or specialist assessments. Where needed, we can arrange a formal EPC through an accredited assessor.
