Energy and green home upgrades: matched to vetted installers

Sorted Property matches UK homeowners to vetted installers for green home upgrades: solar panels, EV chargers, heat pumps, home battery storage and insulation. We are an independent introducer, not an installer, and we point you to the grants you may qualify for, such as the 7,500 pound Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for heat pumps.

Green home upgrades are where the strongest savings and the most generous support sit right now. Solar panels and qualifying insulation carry 0 percent VAT until 31 March 2027, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme takes 7,500 pounds off the cost of a heat pump in England and Wales.

Pick the work you are considering below. Each guide explains what the job involves, what it typically costs, which grants apply and what to check before you commit, then matches you to an installer who holds the right accreditation, such as MCS for solar and heat pumps.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sorted Property install the work itself?

No. Sorted Property is an independent comparison and introducer service. We match you to a vetted installer who carries out the work; we do not install anything ourselves and we are not a lender.

What grants are available for energy upgrades?

The headline scheme is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which gives 7,500 pounds towards an air source or ground source heat pump in England and Wales. Qualifying energy-saving materials such as solar panels and insulation also carry 0 percent VAT until 31 March 2027.

Why does installer accreditation matter?

Accreditation such as MCS is usually required to access grants and export tariffs, and it signals that an installer meets a recognised quality standard. We match you to installers who hold the right accreditation for the job.
