Homeowner guidance
Your Home Is Talking To You
Most homeowners don't think about energy efficiency until something starts costing them money.
These are often signs that your property is trying to tell you something.
Our role is to help you understand what your home is saying and identify practical opportunities to improve comfort, efficiency and performance.
Common signs
- A cold bedroom.
- A draughty living room.
- Condensation on the windows.
- Unexpectedly high energy bills.
- Uneven temperatures between rooms.
Homeowner journey
From symptoms to sensible improvements
Cold rooms, condensation and high bills are easier to act on when they are connected to the property fabric, systems and Energy Performance Certificate position.
Step 2
See the gap to C
Check the current score and how many points are needed to reach EPC C.
Step 3
Review improvements
See practical improvements that may help close the gap.
Step 4
Estimate payback
Compare likely cost, annual saving and time to recover the investment.
Step 5
Decide next step
Request a review, roadmap, assessment or exemption evidence check if needed.

Request Property Energy Story™
Request Property Energy StoryThe MHEE Property Intelligence Platform uses publicly available EPC data where available together with information provided by the user to generate advisory analysis, recommendations and improvement planning. Results are based on actual EPC data where available but do not constitute a new EPC assessment or official EPC certificate. Where an official EPC assessment is required, this can be arranged through Make My Home Energy Efficient.
Understanding your property
No two homes are exactly the same. A Victorian terrace, a 1930s semi-detached house and a modern apartment may all have completely different energy efficiency challenges.
That's why we believe every property should be assessed on its own merits rather than treated as a generic building.
Property Energy Story
For homeowners, the Property Energy Story connects everyday comfort problems with the fabric, systems and usage patterns that may be causing them.
Property Energy Story™ helps clients understand what their property is telling them through cold rooms, high bills, draughts, condensation, poor Energy Performance Certificate ratings and uneven comfort.
Output: Property Energy Story™ Report. A clear summary of why the property performs the way it does and where attention is most likely to be useful.

What can affect energy performance?
Many factors influence how efficiently a property operates. Understanding these factors can help homeowners make more informed decisions about future improvements.
Insulation levels
Heating systems
Hot water systems
Windows and doors
Ventilation
Lighting
Property construction
Improving comfort, not just ratings
An Energy Performance Certificate rating is important. But comfort matters too.
Warmer rooms
Lower energy bills
Better temperature control
Reduced condensation
Improved living conditions
Energy efficiency improvements often help achieve all of these goals.
Comfort Performance Index
The Comfort Performance Index connects energy performance with everyday living conditions, so homeowners can think about comfort as well as ratings.
Comfort Performance Index™ links energy performance to the way a home actually feels. It reviews thermal comfort, draught risk, moisture and condensation, and heating controls to create a simple advisory comfort score from 0 to 100.
