Which? unveils home energy planning service
Which? has created a free home energy planning service designed to give households the confidence and knowledge they need to cut energy costs and prepare for a more sustainable future. The service combines personalised guidance and connects users to trusted, independent expert advice, information on ways to pay, and Which? endorsed tradespeople.
For many consumers, the path to sustainability is confusing and overwhelming, with uncertainties about where to start, who to trust, and how to budget for upgrades. The Which? free online tool provides a tailored, step-by-step plan to enhance their home’s energy efficiency, plus a programme of independent Which? expert advice, information on ways to pay, and access to Which? Trusted Traders.
Through the service, in partnership with tech start-up Snugg, users simply enter their postcode to receive tailored recommendations based on their property data, along with estimates of potential savings, available grants and options for trusted local installers. An important aspect is signposting skilled professionals via the Which? Trusted Trader service to help people get the work done.
For members of the Trusted Trader network, the home energy planning service can provide a pipeline of interested homeowners looking for Which?-endorsed expert tradespeople who can provide relevant services. Traders can also use the service with their customers to help them find out the options available to them.
Which? is encouraging skilled professionals operating in the home energy space to find out more about how to join the Trusted Traders scheme and benefit from this new service.
