Survey Structure

About You

This section tells us a little about you so that we can contact you to discuss your home upgrade and send you your personalisede report. Your address information is used to inform the report and ensure any advice or recommendations are relevant to your situation.

Your Home

Your property details form the foundation of the report. This section helps us understand more specifics about your property, such as house type, size, and age – this helps us assess heat demand and upgrade potential. The section is split into different parts.

Water Heating

Hot water usage is a key part of your overall energy demand, determining the system sizing and configuration. This information helps us to identify potential efficiency improvements and makes sure that our recommendations match your real household usage.

If you already have, or are considering, solar PV, this section allows us to assess existing solar capability, compatibility with other technologies, and your home’s suitability for solar PV as part of the overall upgrade analysis.

 

Next Steps

Here you confirm whether you’d like to be contacted to discuss your results or book an appointment. You can also highlight any problem areas within your home or add additional notes, helping us prepare more relevant advice and ensure any follow-up is focused on what matters most to you.
