About Your Home Climate
We help you understand your home before recommending anything to put in it.
Most websites in this space exist to sell you a product. We built Your Home Climate because the right answer for a British home is almost never the first product a homeowner has in mind. A hot bedroom in July is usually a shading and ventilation problem before it is an air conditioning one. A cold living room in January is usually a fabric problem before it is a boiler one. Wet windows are usually an air problem before they are a glazing one.
So we look at the home first. The planner walks through insulation, shading and ventilation before any mechanical kit is sized. When a fabric fix would resolve the issue on its own, the platform says so plainly, even when there is a more expensive option that could have been suggested instead.
Everything you build up on Your Home Climate stays on your device. No email is asked for, no account is required, and the picture of your home becomes a little sharper every time you return.
A note from the founder
Written by hand, not by committee.
I built Your Home Climate because the advice I wanted for my own home did not exist in one place. Every route led back to somebody selling something; the technology briefings assumed I already knew what I was buying; the government guidance was accurate but written for policy rather than for a person standing in a cold living room.
So I started writing the thing I wished I had; a platform that begins with the house, follows the evidence, and only reaches for a product when the fabric will not answer the question on its own. I am keeping my name off the public site for now because the work should stand on the sources it cites, not on who wrote it. Bylines and a named editorial board will appear alongside each guide as that layer is built out.
If something on the site is wrong, unclear or badly reasoned, I would rather hear it than not. The contact page reaches me directly.
Independent by design
A layer that sits before the sale, and stays that way.
We are the layer that comes before you spend money on a boiler, an air conditioner, a set of solar panels or a smart thermostat. The businesses that sell those things are plentiful and generally capable; what we found missing was a place that helps a British homeowner work out, honestly and independently, what the right answer for their house actually is.
Your Home Climate is an independent decision layer, not a quote flow. You work through the guidance, arrive at the answer for your house and take that answer to whichever supplier suits you best; an independent installer, a national retailer or the manufacturer direct. Where a page carries advertising, sponsorship or an affiliate arrangement, it is labelled on that page, so the reader can see it for what it is.
The commercial model that follows from this is a slower one, and that suits us. We would rather be the page someone quotes back at their installer than the page that sold them the wrong system quickly.
What that means in practice
- Independently owned and maintained in the UK; no manufacturer, installer network or supplier holds a stake.
- Every recommendation traces back to a named source; you can follow the link to the original publication.
- Your Home Brief is yours to keep and take anywhere; installers can use it as the starting point for a quote.
- Where the honest answer is "spend nothing yet" or "fix the fabric before you buy the kit", the site says so plainly.
How we expect to be held to account
We expect you to disagree with us occasionally. That is why every important recommendation can be traced back to the evidence that produced it.
This platform is independently created and maintained in the United Kingdom. It is not owned by a manufacturer, an installer network or an energy supplier. Every recommendation, claim and cost methodology is traceable to its source, and where the evidence is uncertain we say so on the page itself.
Behind the writing sits a typed knowledge graph. A recommendation links to the evidence that supports it; the evidence cites named sources from government, the professional bodies, the building standards and published field research; each source links to the original publication so you can read it for yourself. Where editorial judgement fills a gap, the page is labelled as such and the confidence is shown plainly.
Named bylines and reviewer credits will appear at the foot of each guide as the editorial board is finalised. Until then, every page carries a visible last-reviewed date, a confidence label and a route back to the source material. You do not have to take our word for any of it.
How the platform works
Three doorways. One way of working through a home.
