About Home Energy Audits
A Home Energy Audit is a survey to tell you how energy efficient your home is. The more energy efficient your home, the more money you will save on your energy bills.
A Home Energy Audit on your property will provide you with the following:
-
- how much energy you’re currently using
- recommendations of home improvements to make your home more energy efficient
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is awarded to a home as part of a Home Energy Audit.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
An EPC tells you how efficient your home is and gives it a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient).
Information about how your home is built and how it is heated is used to generate an EPC. It gives you a personalised list of home improvements that can increase your home’s EPC rating.
It also estimates how much energy your household currently uses, which shows how much energy you can save by making the suggestions provided.
EPC ratings give you a standardised way to compare your home with others.
EPCs can only be generated by a qualified assessor
What does a Home Energy Audit involve?
A qualified assessor from Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd will visit you at your home to carry out an audit, which takes on average between 30 and 45 minutes.
We will need access to every room in your home so measurements, photos and notes can be taken on how it was built. We will ask you questions, such as whether you have your heating on a timer, and if so when it switches on and off.
After the visit we will use the information collected about your home to generate the EPC.
Following the property assessment you will be sent a copy of your EPC, which includes the energy improvement and savings recommendations.
Energy Audit Costs
How much will my Home Energy Audit cost?
The cost of a Home Energy Audit varies depending on factors such as:
-
- age of your home
- size of your home
- if your home has had lots of extensions
It is likely to cost in the region of £100 to £250, based on an average 1-3 bedroom home. However, if you provide us with a quick email containing the brief property details, we can provide you with a competitive fixed quote.
How do I apply for the government funding for a Home Energy Audit?
The government of Jersey are offering up to £150 funding per property towards your Home Energy Audit. Funding is dependent on the size of your home:
-
- £100 for 1 to 2 bedroom properties
- £150 for 3 or more bedroom properties
The subsidy amount available will gradually decrease until legislation for mandatory EPCs at point of sale or rental, currently estimated to be at some point during 2026.
Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd can apply for the government grant on your behalf if you complete our online form here.
You, or Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd on your behalf, can apply for funding if:
-
- you own the property and
- the property is older than 10 years old and does not hold a valid Energy Performance Certificate, obtained either through the property’s initial building bye-law application or a previous home energy audit
Funding will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
You will be told within 5 working days of applying whether funding is available to you.
Your funding must be confirmed before Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd carries your Home Energy Audit.
Funding will be valid for 8 weeks from the date issued.
If the audit is not completed by the agreed date or any other terms and conditions are breached, the full cost of the audit is your responsibility.
Payment of Grant
The value of the grant will be paid directly to Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd, your accredited assessor. You, the property owner, will be responsible for paying the remainder of the cost directly to Highfield Home Energy Audits Ltd.
The value of the grant will only be paid if the energy audit is carried out within the grant validity period.
Government funding of a maximum of £150 is available towards the cost of a home energy audit.
