Home energy/insulation consultant?

[nmh]

We're doing a major renovation to our home and it's an opportunity to install an entirely new heating system, insulation, windows, solar panels - the lot.

I'm baffled by ground source heat pumps v gas v how insulated you can ever get a semi detached Victorian house with 1885 bricks as exterior walls?!

Solar panels v how much roof space we'll have v how long we'll be staying at the property?? Interior wall insulation v 'cold' walls and 'warm' walls in the same room v condensation and black mould??

Feels like I could do with someone who really knows their stuff, knows current tariffs, subsidies etc and can give us a route map. Are there people that visit your property and advise?

Seems so counterintuitive fitting a gad boiler these days. Or maybe not?

Thx for any useful info.

Hi we used Mantis Energy to produce a report to cover these sort of questions as part of renovations.

Thanks for this. Did you find them helpful? Worth the money?

It was helpful to compare various options wrt level of insulation and types of energy supply. I think ultimately our budget will mean some options just wouldn't be cost effective. I can put a bit more detail in a PM if you like.

Hi you could try ecofurb.

They cover London and can provide advice based on an assessment and survey of your home.

They can also advise on phasing of measures.
