Helping UK households make better home energy decisions
EnergyGuide publishes practical, plain-English advice on boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, grants, tariffs and household energy costs.
Energy advice should be useful, specific and easy to act on.
Many home energy decisions are expensive, confusing and full of trade-offs. Replacing a boiler, installing solar panels, choosing a heat pump or working out whether a grant applies can involve technical claims, changing prices and conflicting advice.
EnergyGuide exists to make those decisions easier. We create guides that explain the main options, likely costs, common pitfalls and questions worth asking before committing to a product, installer or quote.
Clear guides for major home energy choices
Explain costs clearly
We break down typical costs, what affects quotes, where hidden extras can appear and when a cheap option may not be the best option.
Compare options fairly
We help readers compare products, technologies, grants and installation routes so they can understand the trade-offs before making a decision.
Translate technical topics
We turn jargon around heating, solar, energy tariffs and efficiency into guidance normal homeowners can actually use.

EnergyGuide is written for UK households, with UK housing, energy prices, grants, suppliers and installation standards in mind.

- We encourage readers to compare quotes and check installer credentials.
- We update content where important prices, grants or rules change.
