Home Energy Survey Why have a survey? You will need to know how your home behaves "thermally" before you can decide which system is most appropriate. This is a combination of the physical construction, aspect, insulation, and existing heating systems, as well as understanding how you physically use the house, e.g. number of people. Two identical houses may therefore have very different heating requirements. Many renewable energy systems are seen as failure and home owners are disappointed. This is generally because they have been incorrectly specified and their required performance misunderstood. Over specify a system and you will pay for more than you need. Under specify a system and you will be disappointed. What will it tell me? The survey will tell you the theoretical heating requirements of your home. We can then understand how your own requirements can overlaid. It is at this stage that you can start to explore the viability of any particular systems that you may have in mind. The survey normally takes a couple of hours on site, followed by a process of analysis. A report is then produced within 2 weeks. Knowing the specification of market systems will allow us to match the most suitable system to your home. How much will it cost? A typical home will cost in the order of €150. This is redeemable against a future purchase of a system through Burgundy Energy. Can it be done remotely? Many of our customers are adept at renovating homes and understand construction. Where distance, travelling time or preference permits, we are happy to undertake the survey remotely. This does of course require detailed communication between both parties to understand the measurement requirements are met. |
