Energy surveys and consultancy for commercial property
Take action with BHESCo to reduce the energy costs and environmental impact of your organisation.
It all starts with an on-site energy survey.
We will produce a detailed report highlighting opportunities for improvements and recommending the most cost-effective solutions to remedy areas of heat loss. We can also investigate the potential for generating on-site renewable energy such as solar power or heat pumps.
Our report will include an estimated cost vs savings analysis to help you make informed decisions about which energy improvement measures you wish to install.
What is included with a BHESCo energy survey / feasibility study?
A detailed analysis of heat loss and energy waste
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.
Recommendations and future costs
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 best meet the heat and power requirements of your property, as well as being able to consider upfront cost and future savings projections to help you make the best decisions.
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.

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.
Are you eligible for funding to help with survey costs?
There are a variety of funding opportunities available to help organisations and businesses with the installation of measures that will reduce long-term energy costs and carbon emissions.
Save money, save energy, save Earth
The UK’s 1.8 million non-domestic properties are responsible for around 18% of total CO2
emissions each year. This presents a very exciting and achievable challenge, especially as many of the solutions available can be reached at no net cost and already exist today.
Taking action to improve the energy performance of commercial and public buildings will contribute to the UK’s climate change targets as well as delivering significant benefits to the wellbeing and cashflow of the organisations involved.
Since we launched our Energy Saving Service in January 2016 BHESCo have visited more than 3,000 properties and achieved savings worth hundreds of thousands of pounds on behalf of our customers.
If you want to enjoy cheaper monthly energy bills and enhanced comfort (while saving the planet at the same time) then your journey begins with an energy survey.
We look forward to becoming your trusted partner in your quest for energy independence.
