Frequently Asked Questions
How are my Green Home Guide results calculated?
Our tool doesn’t just throw out generic advice – it pulls in data from multiple sources to accurately model thousands of different energy upgrade scenarios, so we can pinpoint the most cost-efficient and impactful options for you.
How reliable are my results and recommendations?
We’re still building the model, and before it goes live, it’ll go through rigorous testing to make sure it’s as accurate and reliable as possible.
We’ll also share the results of that testing with you directly on our website, because we believe our customers should be fully informed, not kept in the dark.
How quickly will I get my results?
Instantly, that’s the beauty of a Green Home Guide!
Enter a few simple details about your property and you’ll receive a personalised Green Home Guide, full of our clear and easy to understand recommendations.
Who created Green Home Guide?
We’re Dan and James – friends of over 12 years and co-founders of Green Home Guide. Between us, we bring nearly two decades of experience across the European energy sector, marketing and customer experience.
Dan brings deep energy sector expertise, having worked across policy, regulation, and commercial energy and James has a background in marketing strategy and user experience, with a knack for turning complex ideas into plain English.
That’s central to how we’ve built Green Home Guide – making sure the results you get are genuinely useful, not just technically accurate.
Together, we’re on a mission to provide UK homeowners with expert, jargon-free advice to make navigating energy upgrades simpler, smarter, and more cost-effective.
How much will it cost?
We haven’t set a final price yet, but here’s what we can say – we built this to help you navigate the retrofit maze without breaking the bank.
It’ll be significantly cheaper than getting a full inspection – and much quicker too. We’re committed to keeping it accessible and are exploring different pricing models to make that possible.
Transparency is baked into everything we do, including how we fund and price the tool.
Why would I use Green Home Guide over getting an inspection?
Great question! A traditional inspection can be valuable, but it’s not always practical. Here’s how our tool stacks up:
- Less intrusive — No one needs to step foot in your property.
- Faster turnaround — Get results in minutes, not weeks.
- More affordable — A fraction of the cost of a full survey.
- Tailored recommendations — We’ll compare thousands of upgrade options based on your property and budget.
It’s not a replacement for everything, but it’s a powerful first step for people who want clarity, fast.
