Network Efficiency Improvement Services

Reduce carbon emissions. Lower the cost of heat network operations and energy bills.

Insite’s network efficiency improvement (NEI) services help to identify where your heat network may be faulty. Supported by our maintenance services, your heat network will benefit from carbon reductions and reduced costs.

How can I improve the efficiency of my heat network?

Providing heating and hot water to multiple residents from one energy source should be more efficient than traditional gas boilers. But over time, heat networks can become less efficient, leading to a performance gap.

To identify this gap, periodical efficiency reviews, providing recommendations to resolve issues big and small, are essential. 

  • A 10% efficiency increase in a 50-unit development can yield £9,612 of scheme savings per year.
  • A 20% efficiency increase in a 50-unit development can generate savings of £16,121 per year. 

All savings can be passed onto residents, resulting in significant deficit in the heat charge recovery needed to pay the network’s gas bills.

What is included in our NEI services

Insite Energy reviews the operation of your heat network in two steps, identifying issues that reduce performance, and provide clear advice on the actions required to resolve the identified causes of inefficiency:

Step one:

  • Initial desktop survey


Step two:

  • Visual in-person inspection of your network by our engineers
  • NEI recommendations report
  • Ongoing maintenance contract proposal
  • Access to RavenResidential, an energy monitoring software to alert of any inefficiencies and underperforming assets
