Independent Advice on ECO4, BUS, Heat Pumps, Insulation and Solar.
At My Warm Home, we empower UK households with helpful advice on energy saving upgrades, including the ECO4 scheme, Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), solar panels, heat pumps, and the jigsaw of home insulation. But we go further than just recommending solutions.
We focus on arming you with information to allow the right questions to be asked at the relevant times. It’s understanding the pre-installation conditions and restrictions that help you achieve post-installation quality, so you get results that last.
Proper ventilation and thorough building fabric assessments are just as vital as the upgrades themselves. That’s why having information that prioritizes your home’s health, safety, and comfort empowers you to make confident, informed decisions.
Information, education, and process is everything when it comes to insulating and heating our homes.
