It identifies areas where energy is lost, such as walls, windows, or roofs. Targeted improvements, like insulation or draught-proofing, optimise your heating system, reduce energy bills, and improve comfort.

Assessors measure property dimensions, inspect insulation, and evaluate construction materials. This data helps calculate energy losses and recommends suitable heating solutions.
