Tools

Tools to try on your own home. Most work from your postcode or your phone. None needs an account.

• Savings calculator

  Estimate what a heat pump, solar panels or a battery would cost and save in your home.

• Grant finder

  Your postcode and four questions show which UK grants you might get for heat pumps, insulation and solar.

• Boiler escape plan

  Work out when to replace a working gas, oil or LPG boiler, and what to do before then.

• Installer finder

  Find heat pump, solar and battery installers near a postcode, with a link to check each on the MCS register.

• Heat pump visualiser

  See a true-size heat pump or hot water cylinder where you'd put it, through your phone's camera.

• Sound simulator

  Play a real heat pump recording where the unit would go and measure it from your windows and garden.

• 3D house tour

  A 3D cutaway house showing every part of a heat pump system, with solar panels and a battery.

The tools are made by KarbonKit. If you run a website for a council, installer or community group, you can put them on it for free.
