The model, in one paragraph

When you ask us to check installer availability and a matched installation goes ahead, the installer pays us a fee. That is the revenue. Guides, calculators, scheme tracking and the Home Energy Checker are free and stay free — they are how we earn the right to be your first stop.

What we never do

We never sell your details to call-centre lists — one enquiry means one matched installer, not four companies ringing for a week. Recommendations are never ranked by who pays more; our editorial content doesn’t change because a category is more profitable; and when a Government scheme is your best route, we say so and link the official application — even though official routes pay us nothing.

Why we're willing to say “not yet”

The Home Energy Checker will tell you when a product is not a priority for your home. A battery before solar, a heat pump before fabric — wrong order wastes your money and produces bad installations. Our long-term business depends on outcomes that make sense, not on maximum products per household.

Installer standards

Matched installers must hold the certifications their work requires — MCS for solar/heat pumps, PAS 2030/2035 for retrofit measures, CIGA-backed guarantees for cavity work — and are monitored on response, survey and completion quality. Persistent complaints end the relationship.
