Energicore: Smart Home Energy Advice Platform for UK Households

Empowering UK Communities: HouseWrapped Launches Energicore to Revolutionise Home Energy Advice

As the UK navigates an evolving landscape of energy policy and rising living costs, the need for clear, actionable, and property-specific energy advice has never been more critical. On 23rd March 2026, HouseWrapped will officially launch Energicore, an ever evolving digital platform designed to transform how households approach home energy efficiency.

A Bespoke Approach to Energy Intelligence

Generic advice often fails to trigger real-world action because it ignores the unique characteristics of the UK’s diverse housing stock. Energicore solves this by moving beyond "one-size-fits-all" suggestions. The platform aggregates data from an array of public datasets to build an initial profile of a property.

To ensure total accuracy, residents can enter specific details about their home, such as recent renovations or specific heating habits. This hybrid approach creates a bespoke energy roadmap tailored to the exact dimensions, age, and construction of the property.

Transforming Data into Action

For local authorities, fuel poverty advocates, landlords, housing associations and other UK organisations Energicore acts as a bridge between complex technical data and practical home improvements. The platform streamlines the delivery of high-impact advice to those who need it most - particularly low-income and vulnerable residents.

Key features of the platform include:

• Comprehensive Measure Analysis: Detailed guidance on insulation (cavity, loft, room i n roof, underfloor and solid wall), advanced heating systems (air source heat pumps), and renewables like solar PV with and without battery storage. 

• DIY Empowerment: Guidance for lower-cost, self-installed measures that can provide immediate relief from high bills.

• Visual Impact Reports: Clients can view intuitive graphical data illustrating current energy use, carbon emissions, and - crucially - potential energy bill savings and Co2 reductions  after specific measures are installed.

• Transparent Costing & Funding: Energicore provides estimated prices for upgrades. It also automatically signposts users to relevant funding options, green loans and qualified installers. 

AI-Driven Personalised Support

At the heart of Energicore is an integrated AI assistant. Unlike standard chatbots, this AI is specifically engineered to interact with the property-specific data gathered by the platform. Residents can ask nuanced questions such as:

"Which is more cost-effective for my specific roof type: solar panels or extra loft insulation?" > or

"What funding is available for an air source heat pump given my current income and EPC rating?"

This 24/7 intelligent support ensures that households are never left guessing, providing them with the confidence to take the next step in their retrofit journey.

A Tool for Social Impact

Energicore is specifically engineered to support local authorities and charities in their mission to eradicate fuel poverty. By providing residents with a personal energy account they can update in their own time, organisations can empower individuals to take ownership of their home’s efficiency.

The platform doesn’t just provide data; it provides a roadmap to warmth. For frontline workers, this means consultations are faster, more accurate, and lead to tangible results. It turns a daunting technical challenge into a manageable, step-by-step process for the household.

As we look toward the 23rd March launch, Energicore stands ready to become the go-to resource for a fairer, greener, and more energy-secure UK.
