Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My house is cold, but I don’t know where to start. Do I need a specific service to improve my EPC?
A: You’ve come to the right place! Our job is to help you investigate why your home is cold and ultimately how to fix it. To begin, start with our Whole Home Plan. We visit your property, assess everything from your heating system to your insulation levels, and then give you a clear, prioritised roadmap. As a result, you’ll find out exactly why your home is losing heat and the most cost-effective way to fix it. Simply call us on 0141 266 0321 or email us at [email protected] – we’ll let you know if we can help.
Q: Why should I pay for a plan when installers offer free quotes?
Q: Why should I pay for a plan when installers offer free quotes?
A: In short, an installer’s goal is to sell you their product—whether it solves your actual problem or not. In contrast, our plan is 100% independent because we don’t sell products. Instead, we work directly for you, identifying what your home actually needs so you don’t waste money on the wrong measures. If you want to learn more about retrofit, enquire and get immediate access to our simple guide to retrofit.
Q: I’m worried about hiring a “cowboy” builder. Can you help me find someone trusted?
Absolutely. In fact, this is often the hardest part of any renovation, which is why we handle it for you. We have a network of vetted, quality-assured installers who we know and trust. Not only can we get you quotes from them, but we can even review those quotes to make sure they are fair and accurate.
Q: I live in an old stone tenement/villa. Can you really increase the EPC without ruining it?
A: Yes. We specialise in Scotland’s traditional buildings. Standard modern solutions often cause damp in old buildings if done incorrectly. We design safe, breathable solutions that respect the heritage of your home while making it comfortable for modern living.
Q: Do you help with government grants and funding?
A: Yes. Navigating funding applications can otherwise be a headache. However, as part of your plan, we will identify exactly what funding you are eligible for and guide you step-by-step through the process to help cover the costs of your improvements.
Q: I already know I want a Heat Pump. Can you just help with that? Will it increase my EPC?
A: We offer a dedicated Heat Pump Plan. We will design the system to ensure it works efficiently in your specific home (no more “it won’t work in old houses” myths!) and connect you with approved installers to fit it. As part of the service we can explain
Q: Will this help raise my EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating?
A: Yes. Whether you need to meet landlord regulations or just want to increase your home’s value, our plans are designed to boost your score. We analyse your current rating and show you exactly which improvements will lift you into a higher band (for example, moving from a D to a C).
