What to Expect from a Free Home Energy Survey
At Warmify, one of the first steps to making your home warmer and more energy-efficient is a free home energy survey. This visit is essential for tailoring upgrades to your property and ensuring they meet the funding criteria.
Here’s what you can expect—and how it helps you access free home improvements like insulation, solar panels, and heating systems.
What is a Home Energy Survey?
A home energy survey is a free, no-obligation assessment of your property. It’s carried out by a trained energy assessor who checks your home’s current energy efficiency and identifies the best upgrades.
The survey is essential for funding schemes like ECO4, ECO Flex, Connected for Warmth, and the Warm Home Local Grant, which require proof that your home needs improvements.
What Will the Surveyor Check?
During the visit, the assessor will:
- Inspect your insulation levels (loft, walls, floors).
- Check the condition and efficiency of your heating system (boiler, radiators, controls).
- Look at your windows, doors, and ventilation.
- Review your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
- Identify any draughts or moisture issues.
They’ll take measurements, photos, and notes to support the funding application.

How Long Does It Take?
Most surveys take between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the size of your home. Our assessors are trained to work efficiently, with minimal disruption.
What Happens After the Survey?
Once the survey is complete:
- We’ll design a tailored upgrade plan based on your home’s needs.
- You’ll receive a clear explanation of what’s recommended and why.
- We’ll submit the plan for funding approval through the right scheme.
- If approved, installation is arranged at no cost to you.
Do I Need to Prepare?
Just make sure:
- Someone over 18 is home to let the assessor in.
- Key areas of your home (like the loft) are accessible.
- Any pets are kept safely out of the way.
Is There Any Cost?
No—if you qualify for funding, the survey is completely free. There’s no charge, and you’re not obligated to proceed if you change your mind.
