How does it work?

Homewise is a digital energy advice tool that will show you which energy efficiency improvements and low carbon technologies could boost the energy rating of your home and save money on your energy bills.

Homewise offers you impartial energy saving advice that is tailored to your home and lifestyle.

Just follow three simple steps, and Homewise will guide you to create your plan.

Remember, the tool is personalised to your home and energy needs. In some cases, it may suggest options like a new gas or biomass boiler based on where you're at right now and your current setup. But if you're aiming to make your home more sustainable in the long term, there are small steps you can take now, like improving insulation or switching to low-carbon tariffs, that could help open the door to more sustainable technologies in future, such as a heat pump or solar panels.
