Email your installer's Solar, Battery, Heat Pump, Insulation or Boiler quote — PDF, photo or forwarded email.
We check the specification, sizing, realistic savings and payback against independent data — no assumptions, no hype.
You receive a full traffic-light report: what's sound, what's questionable, and the exact questions to put back to your installer.
A simple daily routine for cutting everyday waste — five minutes, four standby checks, three settings, two loads and one sweep of the home. No new kit, no spend — just less waste, every day.
See the full 5:1 Rule →Independent, Engineer-led guidance to help UK Homeowners understand Solar, Batteries, Heat Pumps, Insulation and Boilers before speaking to installers — plus an optional £69 Engineer's Second Opinion on your quote.
No. It is a guidance service — not an installer, supplier, surveyor, finance adviser or quote-comparison company. We earn no commission from installers.
Send your Solar or Heat Pump quote and you receive a full Engineering sanity-check: specification, realistic savings, red flags and the questions to put to your installer. We never sell you a system.
From the optional £69 review service, and from honest, disclosed finder's fees when a reader chooses to use a trusted British company we recommend.
All of the UK. Because the Engineer's Second Opinion reviews your written quote and documents, we can help Homeowners anywhere in Britain — wherever your installer is based.
Within a few days. Once you send your Solar or Heat Pump quote, we typically return your full Engineering sanity-check in a matter of days.
Yes. As well as Solar, we cover Batteries, Heat Pumps, Insulation and Boilers — and the controls that tighten the whole system up.
The £69 rate is a summer offer — normally £99 — and runs until 22 September.

Senior Control & Instrumentation Engineer & Technical Authority
I started as an apprentice Instrument Artificer ('Tiffy') in 1983 and never really stopped. Forty years on, I've kept the control and safety systems running across Britain's heaviest industry — oil refineries, steelworks, gas terminals, fuel pipelines, chemical and power plants, and five years offshore on the rigs early on.
On High Hazard Refineries, Petrochemical Plants and Offshore Oil Rigs, a figure that doesn't add up isn't a typo — it's a safety case. That's the discipline I was trained in, and it's the eye I bring to your home.
Send me your Solar, Battery or Heat Pump quote and I'll read it like a plant specification: is it sized correctly, do the savings actually stack up, and what has the installer quietly left out? I sell nothing, and I take no commission from anyone — you pay me, so I answer only to you.
The result is a plain-English Engineer's Second Opinion, and the exact questions to put back to your installer — before you spend a penny.
