British Gas has extended its partnership with Barclays, which helps customers explore ways they could make their homes more energy efficient.

The partnership now includes an offer for Barclays UK residential mortgage customers to get a British Gas Home Health Check, which usually costs £99, for the discounted price of £50.

New research from Barclays reveals that while 70 per cent of homeowners say they would like their home to be more energy efficient, 35 per cent say they are put off making changes because they don't understand which of the various options are right for their property. As a result, nearly half (45 per cent) say they would benefit from personalised recommendations for ways to make their home more energy efficient.

The Home Health Check provides an in-home survey, during which an accredited domestic energy assessor analyses how energy is used in the customer's home. The assessor then provides personalised guidance on ways the customer could lower their energy bills, reduce their energy consumption and make their homes more efficient. This includes recommendations to make existing systems more efficient at low or no cost where possible, as well as recommending new solutions.
