Installers: The case for joining the Heero Technologies network
Energy efficiency is central to reaching net zero targets, with approximately 19 million homes requiring 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. It is also increasingly crucial for energy security and affordability.
For many homeowners, retrofitting can seem complex, time consuming and expensive. In fact, according to research by Kingfisher, the most common reasons for householders not making home energy improvements are not being able to afford the upfront costs (34%), not knowing enough about what the options are (33%), not being sure if it’s worth the investment (30%) and seeing it as too much hassle (27%).
Although advice and information on home energy efficiency solutions is widely available, homeowners don’t have time to become experts in all aspects of retrofitting. Even in cases where homeowners know what they want, understanding the various aspects can often be a challenge. As such, they are increasingly looking for a trusted partner to provide advice and map out the journey.
Heero Technologies enables installers to play the role of that trusted partner via the Heero App. As the leading independent energy platform and powered by the most sophisticated software engine for housing in the UK, the Heero App enables installers to reach out to homeowners with a powerful tool that streamlines and guides them through the entire retrofit journey.
When faced with hesitant homeowners, the Heero App can be the launchpad for inciting action because it enables installers to present customers with property-specific information on which energy efficiency measures can produce the biggestgains, show the cost of installation, and highlight savings associated with the suggested improvements.
One-stop shop
The Heero App is a one-stop-shop solution for installers. With all the required elements built into the platform, including the initial assessment, installers can use the technology to offer their customers personalised home energy insights and recommendations.
The app also provides valuable information on the financing and installation of energy-saving home improvements and due to partnerships with various Financial Services Providers, installers are able to easily overcome another common retrofit obstacle – access to finance.
Additional benefits offered by the Heero App include:
• Lead generation
• An inbuilt compliance service
• Inbound and outbound customer communications
• Instant booking capability
• Surveys (if required)
• A marketing tool
• Finance arranged for ATP customers.
Essentially, the Heero App not only improves the customer experience, but also streamlines installers’ operations while offering an opportunity to scale. It not only serves as a tool for equipping homeowners with the knowledge and tools to make decisions that will positively impact their cost of living while making net zero homes a reality but can also help installers win new business and provide more value to their customers.
