The Smart Path to Home Energy Efficiency

Home EQ: The platform for a new employee benefit that helps companies support wellbeing during the Cost of Living crisis and measure, manage and reduce the energy used and carbon emitted by employees working from home.

Home EQ provides home owners and renters with a service to help them reduce their energy consumption and save money. We identify what steps to take, starting with small, practical tools and resources everyone can use. Where applicable, we connect employees with reliable contractors and suitable finance to make more significant changes and savings in the home.

Our Operating Principles

Our mission is to be the trusted advisor for employees to take the right action for their home and for the employer to measure and reduce WFH energy utilisation. We use these principles to direct everything we do:

Customer driven - The right thing for the resident, based on the property, its utilisation and life style

Data led - Accurately analyse the current situation and identify appropriate solutions

Lean - Focus first on the no and low cost solutions that can deliver reductions quickly

Product agnostic - We are not about selling products; what is best for one resident is not best for all

Quality - All recommendations must lead to lasting and valuable improvements in the home

Faff free - Make it as simple as possible for the resident to understand their options and take action

Win / Win - Both the employee and the employer benefits from what we do

Why Does this Matter?

Employees as Home Residents

Energy costs have been through an unparalleled rise, been a significant driver of the cost of living crisis, and most UK homes are highly inefficient.

But most people trying to reduce their energy demand encounter three problems:

Don’t know the best solutions for their home and life style
Don’t know where to find good providers and installers
Don't know the best way to fund bigger improvements - grants, loans?

Companies as Responsible Employers

Home energy usage has become an issue many employers cannot ignore:

Home energy is consuming a much bigger proportion of the take home salary of employees - for some an amount that can't readily be absorbed by cutting back elsewhere
Recruiting and retaining high quality staff remains a major challenge in many sectors. However competing on salary alone is not viable or desirable
Post pandemic, many companies have maintained remote and hybrid working arrangements. Some of employees' home energy usage is driven by their home working. But the costs and emissions are not understood or managed
