The problem

The system is broken.
Upgrid fixes it.

Everyone who has tried to navigate a home energy upgrade hits the same walls. Not because they don't care — because no one has made it simple.

"

My strategy is to contact 10 roofers at a time with the same message. Half might get back to you and half of those might give you a quote — if you're lucky.

Homeowner · r/HousingUK validation research, 2026

You don't know what upgrades you actually need
EPCs tell you a rating. Nobody tells you what to do about it or what will actually move the number.
💸
Grants are confusing and feel like a mirage
12+ schemes, scattered across websites. Most people miss grants they qualify for.
🔧
Installers are inconsistent and hard to trust
Quotes vary wildly. Most don't call back. No easy way to verify certification or quality.
📋
Information gets lost between you and the installer
"They assumed we used half the electricity we actually did." Real story. Preventable with the right system.
🏦
Finance is a completely separate process
Different lender, different application, different timeline. Most people give up here.

Why I built this

"Nobody had made the process
simple enough to actually start."

I spent months researching the UK retrofit market. I spoke to homeowners who gave up after three months of trying. Landlords who assumed they weren't eligible for grants they qualified for. Installers buried in admin while homeowners waited.

The problem was never that people didn't want to upgrade their homes. It was that every step was fragmented, confusing, and designed for people who already knew the system.

Upgrid is what I wish had existed when I started. One place. One journey. A real person you can email if something goes wrong.

Having a single point of contact for all of it definitely helped — even when we hit problems like a faulty inverter and a valve fitted backwards.

I won't do anything about it until I'm actually forced to — or I get a grant to do it. Nobody has made this simple enough to actually start.

A lot of unnecessary work and cost will be undertaken that won't move the EPC rating. People need to know what actually counts before spending anything.
