Checking the energy supplies

The procedure will involve the assessor checking a home’s space, heating systems, gas meters, electric meters, fuel supplies, loft, basements, lighting, insulation undertaken, windows and doors, wall thickness, etc. They will always recommend using of alternative energy resources such as solar panels to save energy.
