Welcome to Energy Balance

We have been involved in construction since 1985 and seen many changes through the years from Building regulations to people advancement in Eco technologies. We have been there not just to follow standards but to set new standards in all aspects of our works.
We can provide various types of Energy Assessments including:
- Advisory Report during design stage of home or from existing architectural plans
- Advisory Report based on full energy audit including Air Permeability Testing
- Recommendations report and cost analysis to carry out the works to your home
Why have an energy assessments?
- To assess your building for heat loss through roof, floors, walls windows and doors together with loss of energy from heat and lighting.
- To reduce high energy bills.
- To test the standard of building quality of your home.
- To identify most cost effective method of upgrading existing energy systems.
- To maximise the resale value of the property.
- To future proof your home.
- To reduce carbon footprint.
Energy Balance provides Building Energy Rating (BER) certificates for all New & Existing dwellings. New homes can be rated from plans during the design stage and we strongly recommend this approach. In this case a Provisional certificate will be issued to the client.
Air Tightness Testing identifies areas of the building that are experiencing heat loss through gaps and cracks in the envelope of the building fabric. The only satisfactory way to show that the building fabric is reasonably airtight is to measure the leakiness of the building fabric as a whole.
Thermal Imaging is used to identify patterns of heat loss from your property that are invisible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging is conducted using a high tech infrared camera. This camera is able to determine the pattern of heat loss through the fabric of the building and heating system.
