About NetZeroNow

NetZeroNow is an independent UK information service for households planning energy upgrades. We explain how insulation, heating, solar, storage, EV charging, and tariffs fit together so readers can make practical decisions with fewer surprises.

Who this site is for

  • Homeowners comparing quotes for major retrofit work.
  • Landlords trying to understand compliance, comfort, and running-cost trade-offs.
  • Households researching grants before speaking to installers.
  • Readers who want straightforward explanations instead of sales-led copy or jargon-heavy technical documents.

What we publish

NetZeroNow covers:

  • Home energy planning and “fabric first” retrofit sequencing.
  • Technology explainers for heat pumps, solar PV, batteries, EV chargers, insulation, and smart controls.
  • Calculators and estimators with visible assumptions.
  • Funding, planning, maintenance, and troubleshooting guidance.
  • Worked examples that help readers understand how different property types might approach upgrades.

How we build each guide

Our editorial process is designed to make complex subjects easier to compare.

  1. We start with official UK sources, regulator guidance, standards documents, and manufacturer technical material where relevant.
  2. We translate the topic into plain English and focus on the practical questions most households ask.
  3. We add calculators, checklists, internal links, and next-step guidance where that genuinely helps the reader.
  4. We review pages for clarity, consistency, and obvious gaps before publishing.
  5. We show a last updated date on our main pages so readers can judge freshness.

What we are not

  • We are not an installer directory or a brokerage service.
  • We do not carry out home surveys, legal advice, or regulated financial advice.
  • We do not publish sponsored rankings or paid “best product” tables disguised as editorial guidance.
  • We do not promise that any calculator result replaces a room-by-room survey, MCS design, or professional installation assessment.

How we stay independent

NetZeroNow may display advertising to help fund hosting, maintenance, research, and development. That does not give advertisers control over what we cover or recommend. We explain this in more detail on our how we make money page.

How we research

We regularly use UK sources such as GOV.UK, Ofgem, Energy Saving Trust, MCS, Planning Portal, and National Grid data where appropriate. When pages include calculations, we either disclose the key assumptions on the page or link to our methodology notes.

Worked examples and case studies

Some pages include representative retrofit examples. Where an example is illustrative rather than a named homeowner submission, we label it clearly so readers understand it is a worked scenario, not a paid testimonial.

Who runs the site

NetZeroNow is published by h3y.dev, a UK-based team that builds digital tools and content products. The site combines editorial research, product design, and calculator development to help readers plan more energy-efficient homes.
