How Our Birmingham Energy Efficiency Surveys Work

We take a rigorous, step-by-step approach to identifying heat loss and inefficiencies in your home. Rather than relying on guesswork, our experienced technicians use non-invasive thermal imaging cameras to scan your walls, floors, and ceilings. This advanced heat loss detection allows us to spot hidden damp, missing insulation, and thermal bridging that traditional visual inspections often miss.Next, we evaluate your current heating setup. As accredited installers for Worcester Bosch and Vaillant, we meticulously check your boiler performance, radiators, and smart heating controls. We then compile these findings into a detailed report, providing you with actionable, professional advice on the most cost-effective energy-saving investments tailored specifically to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Surveys

What is the difference between your survey and a standard EPC? A standard Energy Performance Certificate is often a visual, high-level overview used mostly for property sales. Our thermal imaging surveys dig much deeper, using infrared technology to physically show you where heat is escaping, combined with an expert mechanical assessment of your boiler and heating controls.How long does a home energy efficiency survey take? Depending on the size of your property in Birmingham, a comprehensive domestic energy audit usually takes between one to three hours. We ensure every room, radiator, and external wall is carefully mapped.Can you fix the issues you find during the survey? Absolutely. Because we are experienced Gas Safe engineers and plumbers, we can directly implement many of our recommendations, such as boiler upgrades, smart heating control installations, and radiator efficiency improvements.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

Mark T. / Wolverhampton

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. Outstanding 24/7 service!"

Sarah J. / Dudley

"Fact Services installed a brand new gas interlock system and issued a CP42 safety certificate for our restaurant kitchen. Top-class commercial gas engineers—they knew exactly what the building controls required and worked around our opening hours to minimize disruption. Great honest tradesmen."

Answers to common questions about our home energy efficiency surveys and thermal imaging services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands.

    We take a consultative approach. We aren't here to sell you products you don't need; we are here to provide the data you need to make smart decisions about your property.

What is the difference between an EPC and a Home Energy Efficiency Survey?

+

An EPC is a basic requirement for selling or renting a home and is often based on general assumptions about your property type. Our Home Energy Efficiency Survey is a deep dive. We use thermal imaging and physical inspections to find specific faults, like missing insulation or hidden leaks, providing you with a tailored action plan.

How does thermal imaging help find heat loss?

+

Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation, which we see as heat. When we scan your walls, windows, and roof, the camera shows us "cold spots" in blue and "hot spots" in red. If we see heat bleeding out through your walls on a cold day, we know exactly where your insulation has failed.

Will this survey help lower my monthly bills?

+

Yes. Most homeowners find that by following just a few of our recommendations, they can noticeably reduce their gas and electricity usage. Whether it's fixing a draft or upgrading an old boiler, the goal is to keep the heat you pay for inside your home.

How long does the assessment take?

+

For a standard three-bedroom house in Wolverhampton, the survey usually takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to inspect the heating system, scan the property with thermal cameras, and check the insulation levels in the loft.
