Honest by default

You see the full answer, even when it is "not yet"

If a heat pump would not save you money in your home right now, the calculator says so. If solar pays back faster than a battery, the calculator tells you. The numbers are conservative and the assumptions are all published openly on the methodology page.

Common questions

Is the calculator free to use?+

Yes. Free, no sign up, no email gate. You see the full numbers straight away.

How accurate are the savings?+

The maths uses live Ofgem energy prices, MCS installer costs, government grant rules, and Department for Energy data. Real quotes vary by installer. Always get three quotes before you commit.

Will solar panels save me money?+

For most south or south-west facing UK homes, yes. The calculator works out your savings using your postcode-level sunshine data. Most homes break even in 7 to 10 years.

Is a heat pump worth it for my home?+

It depends on your current heating fuel and how warm your home stays. The calculator gives you a clear yes or no, and tells you why. The £7,500 government grant is included.

What if I cannot afford an upgrade right now?+

You will still get the numbers. Many people use the calculator to plan upgrades over 5 or 10 years, doing one at a time. The order matters, and the calculator tells you what to do first.
