Your Green Home Guide provides an overview of your home’s current energy performance and the potential impact of selected home energy improvement measures. It is designed to help you understand costs, savings, and carbon footprint impacts, and to support informed decision-making.

Green Home Guide uses proprietary modelling to carry out this assessment. We gather hundreds of data points about your property from trusted online sources to build a digital twin of your home. This digital twin is then used to model the impact of over 1,000 combinations of home energy improvements, enabling the selection of measures that best meet your selected goal.

All figures shown are estimates based on modelling assumptions and prevailing energy prices at the time of assessment. Actual costs, savings, EPC outcomes, and carbon footprint impacts may vary.

Recommended measures

This section explains which improvements are recommended and why. Measures are selected based on their suitability for the property and how much benefit they are expected to deliver compared to their cost.

The recommended measures are modelled together as a single package rather than as standalone options, as their combined impact may be greater than the sum of their parts.

Your Recommended Package

Financial impact

This section shows how the upfront costs compare with the expected savings over time:

Installation cost shows the upfront amount needed to install the recommended measures.
Property value increase shows whether the recommended measures are expected to increase the property’s value, which is typically linked to improvements that move the home into a higher EPC band.
Energy savings show the estimated reduction in energy bills each year.
Net position shows how savings and property value increase build up over time compared to the upfront installation cost.

The payback period shows how long it is expected to take for energy savings and any increase in property value to cover the initial installation cost. The internal rate of return (IRR) is a standard way of expressing the overall return on the investment. It is similar to an interest rate and helps compare the expected return from these improvements with other possible uses of the money, such as saving it in a bank account.

Energy performance impact

This section shows how your home’s energy performance is rated today and how it could change if the recommended measures are installed.

Existing Certificate shows the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating that is officially lodged for your property.
Current Estimated EPC shows an updated estimate of your EPC rating based on any changes to how EPCs are calculated since your certificate was lodged, or any changes to your property that may not be reflected in the existing EPC.
Green Home Guide Potential shows the estimated EPC rating of the property if all of the recommended measures in your Green Home Guide were implemented.

These ratings are estimates based on our modelling and do not guarantee a specific EPC outcome.

Carbon footprint impact

We estimate you will save — by implementing the recommended measures in your Green Home Guide. This is equivalent to:

Measures to avoid

This section lists which measures are not recommended for your property, so that your time and money is not wasted exploring options that are unsuitable. This includes measures that were assessed, but ruled out due to limited benefit, existing improvements already being in place, property constraints, or potential risks.

Other measures checked, but that we don't recommend for your property

This section shows other feasible home energy improvement measures that we modelled, but did not end up recommending. This could be due to them costing more than your recommended measures for the same benefit, longer payback periods, or lower overall benefit towards your preferred goal. Please reach out to us at info@greenhomeguide.co.uk if you have any specific questions relating to any of the other measures listed below.

Next steps

If you wish to proceed with the recommended measures, the following steps provide a practical guide:

Step 1: Check grant funding and support options

Confirm whether you are eligible for any grants, incentives, or finance schemes that may reduce upfront costs or improve affordability. Contact info@greenhomeguide.co.uk if you need support.

Step 2: Obtain quotations from professional installers

Contact suitably qualified and accredited installers to arrange site visits and obtain detailed quotations. We suggest getting 3 quotes for each measure. Explore our blog for more guidance on choosing installers.

Step 3: Compare specifications and costs

Ensure quotations are based on comparable specifications so that costs, scope, and expected outcomes can be fairly compared. Contact info@greenhomeguide.co.uk if you need support.

Step 4: Plan installation

Agree timelines, manage disruption, and ensure any follow-on works are identified in advance to support safe and effective installation.
