Expert survey and Home Energy Plan
We conduct an expert survey of your home, then discuss our findings with you before producing your Home Energy Plan.
Your plan includes a clear and realistic view of your improvement options, their impact, and estimated costs. We suggest a phasing to prioritise the improvements.
We make sure you understand all of your options.

We'll quote for stages 2 and 3 when stage 1 is complete..

Why start with a survey and plan?
Save weeks of research and planning
Getting started is hard! Let us get things moving for you.
A Furbnow Home Energy Plan accelerates your project by providing clear, actionable information and advice. Our experts will answer any questions you have now or during the process.
Make an informed decision
With our easy to understand home energy plan, you'll have the knowledge you need to make an informed decision on how to retrofit your home.
Energy efficiency projects without a comprehensive planning stage often run over-budget, longer than planned, and deliver poor results. The costs of the planning stage pay for themselves in reduced costs down the line.
Get it right, first time
Many retrofit projects go wrong because installers don't account for the interactions between different changes to the home - we take a whole-house approach to prevent these Issues.

- At Furbnow we use a range of contractors to carry out different jobs. It could be installers who fit heat pumps or double glazing, a project manager who oversees your home retrofit work, or in this case a surveyor who assesses your property and its needs to make it more energy efficient
