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?

✅ 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.
