  • You were able to ride to the rescue, designing the best scheme for me and putting me in touch with a trusted firm of solar panel experts. They were great, carefully installing the panels and fitting the controls in a cupboard inside the garage.

    Pat Hobbs

  • I had more than 10 solutions/quotes spread across 4 companies under consideration, and the advice and insights from John have been decisive to narrow down from all of these options.

    Dr. Andre Jesus

  • Working with yourself, you were able to confirm that we could in fact get 6 x Solar panels on our roof, whereas Octopus were unable to install 4.

    Dave Newberry

  • He was quick, knowledgeable and very helpful in proving all the information I needed to get started on solar panels, battery storage and solar boosted hot water.

    Lawrence Leger

  • Retrospectively John really did provide me with the best advice for the system I should have installed, I did choose a slightly different path than he advised but have spent the last year reinstating his recommendation.

    Rob Howes

  • [Home Energy Doctor was] a One-stop-shop. Plain, logical, understandable, evidence based and very well explained. When the sun shines you can hear the pound coins dropping back into your bank .

    Adrian Goodman

  • John came highly recommended by a friend who had just had a PV system installed, during the quote stage John also helped resolve a number of technical issues.

    George Sweatman

  • John's explanation of how solar would work, and the savings and earnings was clear. He explained issues with shading very well, as well as other things affecting energy efficiency. It made deciding to go solar with battery storage easy, and the system is working well.

    Simon Ferrigno

  • John helped us greatly with our deliberations. He carried out a feasibility study and set out how this could best be put into practice with a specification and associated costings. Without John’s input, we would probably still be just talking about the possibility of installing panels! Thank you John.

    Frazer & Carolyn Robson

  • My solar system was installed 2 years ago and it’s working very well. I asked Dr. John to advise me on what to install. He analysed my house and my particular power usage and came up with a plan that was several thousand pounds cheaper than other quotes.

    John Loran

  • By far the best sources of information I encountered were John and the Renewable Energy hub, who, between them, were able to provide impartial advice on the whether a renewable system works for you (I never trust information unless I see pros and cons) and the detailed nuts and bolts information required (scaffolding height, fuse size etc).

    Stuart Dickerson

  • I found John very approachable. He quickly replied in detail and clearly answered my questions. At all times I felt that he was interested in finding solutions and explaining them to me. It was reassuring to have his advice in a specialist area where my knowledge was minimal.

So why do you need Home Energy Doctors?

We cost on average around 1% of your predicted spend if you are installing a renewable energy system. The value to reward is outstanding. Why would anyone risk spending what is often over £10,000 without getting independent and qualified advice first?

We can help you know what suits you not the installer and can discuss many different types of products, brands and solutions – not just what they wish to sell you. We reduce the risk of you being over-sold or under-specified, increasing the likelihood of what you install being be good enough, as it would be terrible to spend all that money and still not be happy.

We know what is realistic both in terms of product & market prices, and have no bias as we are not trying to profit from your project.
