Who are Energy Saving Trust?

We’ve partnered with Energy Saving Trust to bring you our Home Energy Efficiency Tool. Energy Saving Trust are an independent organisation that help UK homes and businesses reduce their energy consumption and tackle climate change.

The Trust works closely with the government to deliver programmes and support to households and businesses across the UK every year. They provide advice on how to make smarter energy choices. They also work closely with businesses to find new ways of tackling the climate crisis and ensuring we have a sustainable future.


How the tool works

To get started, we’ll ask for your address. We’ll use this, along with available property data, to create your personalised energy saving plan.

We’ll show you the key details we’ve assumed about your home.

Please check everything carefully. If anything looks wrong, you can update it using the ‘edit details’ option. This helps make sure your plan is as accurate and relevant as possible.

Your plan will show:

  • what your energy bill savings could be after improvements
  • your current Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating and what it could be
  • how much you could save and how much improvements might cost
  • what your CO2 emission savings could be after improvements.

You can also set a goal, such as lowering your energy costs, and choose a budget. We’ll then guide you through suggested improvements and point you to useful information.

When you’re finished, you can download your action plan.

Can I change my action plan?

The more detail you can provide in your answers, the more accurate your plan will be to suit your needs. The tool will prompt you to enter more detailed information if you have it. For example, energy meter readings. Don't worry if you don't know. It will make an estimate based on the answers you've given about your home.

If you don't have time to answer all the questions today, you can choose to save your plan and come back to it later. We'll give you a unique code to enter when you return, so you don't have to answer the same questions again.
