A detailed analysis of heat loss and energy waste
Our report will measure and compare the anticipated reduction in demand that we would expect from installing different types of energy saving measures and other green energy solutions.
This enables you to draw conclusions about which combination of technologies will most effectively meet the heat and power requirements of your property, as well as being able to consider upfront costs and future savings projections.
By identifying low-cost, high-impact measures, you are empowered to make strategic long-term decisions for your organisation.
Recommendations and future costs
Our bespoke energy survey will provide a thorough and detailed examination of every aspect involved with heating and powering your property.
Our Energy Saving Team will conduct an on-site survey to capture all relevant data. We will also analyse your historic energy bills to gain an understanding of your energy usage and to identify times of peak demand.
We will produce a detailed report recommending the most cost-effective solutions to remedy areas of significant heat loss and energy waste.
Accessing finance for your energy improvements
Our expertise and familiarity with national energy policy can identify any financial support available to reduce the cost of your energy improvements.
For example, during previous projects we have helped our customers to access such subsidy schemes as the Feed-In-Tariff and the Renewable Heat Incentive. Under the current subsidy regime this could include Rampion, VCSE, or IETF funding.
Where a client has solar power installed, we can help them to take advantage of tariff offers from energy suppliers who agree to purchase any excess renewable electricity produced from their solar panels, adding an additional revenue stream to your operations.

"It was time to call in the experts. BHESCo provided me with a strategic checklist of options tabled by cost vs effectiveness. It involved several hours of an energy assessor inspecting the property and resulted in a 24-page report covering everything".

How much does an energy survey cost?
The cost of your energy consultancy will depend on the amount of time that our Project Team needs to dedicate to your survey and report.
We will ask you to provide floor plans and a good description of the property. Based on this information we will provide a quotation for our consultancy services, taking into consideration the size and complexity of the property/ circumstances.
Customers who decide to work with BHESCo to install their energy management improvements will not have to pay for their energy audit upfront – the cost will be absorbed into the Pay As You Save financial agreement.
What support is available to help with the energy consultancy cost?
If you are looking to improve energy efficiency or install renewable energy for a business or organisation, then you may be able to apply for grant funding to cover the cost of an energy survey/ energy consultancy.
Rampion Community Benefit Fund
In Brighton & Hove, the Rampion Community Benefit Fund can be accessed to help with costs.
This is a voluntary commitment to support projects from Littlehampton in the east to Beachy Head in the west and north from the coast to Twineham.
It aims to make a real difference to the local communities through its support of projects with links to environment and ecology, climate change and energy, and improved community facilities. Priority will be given to projects which benefit disadvantaged people and communities.
If you are thinking about submitting an application, talk to BHESCo first as we can help you with this.
VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme
The Government has launched a £25.5 million funding package to help voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in England improve their energy efficiency.
Eligible organisations will be able to apply for 1) an independent energy assessment and 2) capital grants to install energy efficiency measures.
