Episode description
Improving the energy efficiency of your home is always top of mind when it's cold outside or you can feel a draft inside. But getting somebody to assess your home's efficiency isn't as thorough as it should be.
In this podcast we're joined by our sustainability specialist Karen Lawrence who explains how when trying to compare the options for homeowners seeking energy advice, she was met with inaccurate reports, incompetent assessors and a system in need of improvement.
Plus, we explain how to make the most of the Which? home energy planning tool to get an idea of what you can do to improve your own home's efficiency.
