Net zero: Technology is key to homeowner engagement

Although most homeowners are aware of the financial, environmental and lifestyle benefits of energy savings technologies, many tend to ignore these measures. Add to that the fact that British households are in the grip of an energy crisis, and it is baffling why more homeowners aren’t actively implementing energy saving solutions.

The truth is despite expert advice and information on grants, installers, and financial solutions, homeowners fail to act for several reasons. These include, among others, a limited understanding of their home energy use and how to make improvements that align with their personal goals, a poor grasp of the advice and financial support available, and an often disjointed and complex customer journey.

In addition, many are simply unwilling to make large investments in energy saving measures with little understanding of the benefits – even with the promise of future savings.

From daunting to doable

What can be a daunting process for many homeowners is simplified through the HEERO Technologies application – a powerful tool designed to streamline the user experience and guide homeowners through the entire energy retrofit journey.

As the country’s leading independent energy platform, powered by the most sophisticated software engine for housing in the UK, HEERO offers householders personalised energy recommendations with 95% accuracy. In addition, it helps address challenges such as the disruption caused by invasive energy efficiency measures, confusion over financing and government funding, and lack of flexibility and choice over technology, installers, and manufacturers.

The technology essentially covers whole market financing options, a trusted UK wide installer network, bespoke recommendations tailored to specific technologies and alerts for new funding. So, no more unfulfilled promises from companies trying to sell something. And no more ineffective advice from well-intentioned sources who aren't profiting from your decisions.

Bridging the gap

Approximately 19 million homes will require energy efficiency improvements before 2035 to ensure the UK is on track to meet its CCC 2050 net zero ambition and an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our goal is to bridge the gap by equipping homeowners with the tools to make net zero homes a reality.

However, we can’t achieve this on our own, which is why our sophisticated technology can be seamlessly integrated into that of other parties, from banks and Financial Services Providers to installers, thus providing them with a one-stop-shop solution for giving their customers personalised home energy insights as well as a valuable tool that provides all the necessary steps to secure funding and financing and ensure energy-saving home improvements are installed successfully.

Of course, making use of our white-label technology offers a range of benefits, from an improved value proposition and lead generation to ESG validation, a built-in compliance service, and the opportunity to capture significant growth opportunities in new markets.
