Home Energy Hub: independent UK energy advice
Free, independent guides and calculators for UK homes. No sales calls.
Try the heat pump calculatorIndependent advice
for the modern UK home.
Heat pumps, solar, batteries, EV charging and insulation can all cut your bills, but most advice comes from people selling the kit. We run the numbers properly, explain the trade-offs plainly, and never pass your details to installers.
Our mission.
Cheaper, warmer homes.
Energy advice is usually
built to sell you something.
Comparison sites and installers earn more when you spend more. We earn a little from some product links and say so on every page, but the numbers come first. Here is where we think the biggest wins are.

Cut what you pay for heat, power and driving.
2Lower carbon.
