BHESCo are thrilled to announce that we’ll be partnering with Brighton and Hove City Council to offer free energy improvement surveys for 150 local homes.
The ‘Sustainable Homes and Inclusive Neighbourhoods‘ project (SHINE) aims to tackle draughts and damp as well as reducing energy bills for residents during the cold winter months.
Anyone is welcome to request a free survey, although the programme is directed towards those on a low-income or where a family member is vulnerable to cold conditions (e.g. children under 5, elderly, lives with a disability).
Since 2016, BHESCo have completed more than 650 energy surveys for residents of Brighton and Hove, helping people to save over £50,000 on energy bills collectively.
The survey itself takes no more than one hour and will identify where heat is being lost and how to fix it quickly.
We will then arrange a follow up visit to install energy saving and insulation measures such as:
- LED lights
- Window & door draught excluders
- Radiator reflector panels
- Chimney balloons
- Secondary glazing
- Home energy monitor
The survey includes a review of the property’s energy bills and helping customers to switch to a cheaper tariff. We will also advise on any potential financial support available such as the £140 Warm Home Discount, as well as demonstrating how to optimise boiler and heating controls .

We will then be in touch to arrange a date for the survey. Properties eligible for SHINE must be within the following postcode areas: BN1 / BN2 / BN3 / BN41
We look forward to hearing from you and helping you take control of your fuel bills.

Great initiative; Electrical system health and efficiency, Equipment monitoring, these are crucial things to monitor when one wants to monitor power. I use home energy monitor named OHM Assistant. This helps me with these exact two things. Many people ignore checking their appliance health and efficiency, leading to increased power bills. This article covers mostly everything one should consider, if they want to save power or wants to monitor power.
