Transparency is important to us. Here is how we fund our work and how affiliate links appear on our site.
Some of the links on UK Energy Guide are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps fund the running and upkeep of the site and lets us continue producing free, high-quality content.
When you click an affiliate link on our site:
When you request a quote through this site, we pass the details you provide to one or more installer or lead partners so they can contact you with a quote. We are paid a referral fee for making that introduction, whether or not you go on to buy. This is separate from the affiliate links described above. The decision to accept any quote is entirely yours, and any contract is between you and the installer.
We are funded by connecting homeowners with installer or lead partners, and through affiliate links. We earn a referral fee when we introduce you to a partner, and a commission when you buy through an affiliate link. We disclose when we earn a fee, as set out on this page.
Our guides are written separately from those commercial relationships: the team that researches and writes our content does so on its own editorial judgement, and we feature many products and services that pay us nothing because we consider them genuinely useful to UK homeowners. We do not, however, claim to be free of commercial interest — where we earn a fee, we tell you.
Articles that contain affiliate links display a disclosure notice at the top of the page, so you know before you read on that some links in that article may earn us a commission. We believe in being upfront about how we’re funded.
We partner with a range of retailers and service providers in the energy efficiency space, including smart thermostat manufacturers, insulation suppliers, renewable energy installers and comparison services. The specific partners may change over time as we review and update our recommendations.
