Thinking About a Home Buyer Survey?
Make a Smarter Investment with a Whole House Energy Efficiency Report
When buying a new home, most people consider a standard Home Buyer Survey to check the structure and condition of the property. But with rising energy costs and the growing importance of energy efficiency, there’s a smarter way to assess your investment.
At Dartmoor Energy, we offer a Whole House Energy Efficiency Report—a forward-thinking alternative (or valuable companion) to a traditional survey. Our report gives you detailed insight into how the property performs today, what it will cost to run, and how you can future-proof it with low-carbon upgrades and retrofit improvements.
Why Choose a Whole House Energy Efficiency Report?
✅ Understand Running Costs Before You Buy
We calculate your future energy bills based on real heat-loss data and energy system modelling.
✅ Spot Energy-Saving Opportunities Early
From insulation to solar panels, we show you exactly where improvements can be made and what they’ll save in cost and carbon.
✅ Plan for a Low-Carbon Future
We assess the property’s suitability for heat pumps, battery storage, EV chargers, and more—giving you confidence in your long-term decisions.
✅ Make Informed, Grant-Ready Decisions
Our report aligns with PAS 2035 and MCS standards and includes funding eligibility advice to help you access available grants and incentives.
What’s Included?
Your custom report covers:
✅ Heat-Loss Calculations – Full room-by-room survey and digital model using U-values, compliant with MCS and British Standards.
✅ Low-Carbon Heating Design – Heat pump specification, recommended sizing, 25-year cost and carbon comparison.
✅ Emitter Design – Detailed radiator schedule and underfloor heating layout for low-temperature systems.
✅ Insulation & Window Upgrades – Clear advice on fabric improvements and their impact on performance and cost.
✅ Solar PV & Battery Storage – Custom layout, generation forecasts, payback modelling, and storage sizing.

✅ Basic Damp & Structural Assessment – Visual inspection to detect signs of damp or structural issues, helping ensure all retrofit measures are built on solid foundations.
✅ Retrofit Evaluation & Roadmap – A step-by-step guide of short- and long-term improvements, correctly sequenced to avoid wasted work or cost, supporting your retrofit journey with clarity and confidence.
