Energy Surveys
Helping you reduce business energy costs, improve efficiency and achieve sustainability goals
Every industry and business has its own set of challenges and goals for energy efficiency and sustainability. Our energy surveys can help identify critical cost savings, highlight missed opportunities and help drive tangible results for your business. Our specialists can even help you with a custom action plan for achieving your energy goals.
Bespoke energy services for your energy challenges
Energy efficiency is pivotal in enhancing operational performance across various sectors and industries. Our specialised energy surveys are designed to identify opportunities for improvement and drive tangible results.
From pinpointing elusive compressed gas and compressed air leaks to assessing steam and hot water heat loss along with lagging damage, our surveys delve deep into the heart of your energy infrastructure. Our expert team conducts thorough building envelope energy loss surveys. This helps ensure your facility operates at peak efficiency while minimising environmental impact.
Our surveys highlight areas of energy waste, detect potential issues, and unlock savings opportunities tailored to your unique business needs. As manufacturing and production plants strive to meet environmental targets and regulations, our high-voltage qualified engineers employ cutting-edge technologies like thermal imaging and ultrasonic air-leak detection, which can save you thousands on your annual energy bill.
We can develop a customised plan for achieving your goals and reducing CO2 emissions. Trust our experienced reliability engineers for comprehensive reports and actionable recommendations.

Compress Gas and Compressed Air Leak Surveys
Our compressed gas leakage survey uses Ultrasonics to find and quantify costly leaks on compressed air and gas systems. Our experienced engineers are qualified to high voltage standards, so you can be sure that our work is done safely and effectively.
Here are some of the benefits of our compressed gas leakage survey:
- Find and quantify leaks: Our survey can find even the smallest leaks, which can save you money on wasted gas.
- Reduce safety risks: Leaks can create safety hazards, so our survey can help you identify and fix them.
- Increase efficiency: By reducing leaks, you can improve the efficiency of your compressed air and gas systems.
- Extend the lifespan of your assets: Leaks can damage your assets, so our survey can help you extend their lifespan.
We have surveyed a variety of compressed gas systems, including:
- Compressed air systems
- Nitrogen systems
- Argon systems
- Other welding gas systems
- Steam systems
Steam and Hot Water Heat Loss and Lagging Damage Surveys
Our steam and hot water heat loss and lagging damage survey uses thermography to find costly areas of radiated heat loss caused by poor or missing insulation around steam and hot water pipework. We have seen that our customers can achieve significant savings with short returns on investment when they have these surveys carried out.
We use the most up-to-date Carbon Trust guidelines to calculate the cost of energy loss, so you can be sure that our estimates are accurate. We can also calculate carbon emissions based on current and additional fuel consumption, helping you to benchmark your current status against future surveys.
Here are some of the benefits of our steam and hot water heat loss and lagging damage survey:
- Find and quantify heat loss: Our survey can find even the smallest areas of heat loss, which can save you money on wasted energy.
- Reduce safety risks: Heat loss can create safety hazards, so our survey can help you identify and fix them.
- Increase efficiency: By reducing heat loss, you can improve the efficiency of your steam and hot water systems.
- Extend the lifespan of your assets: Heat loss can damage your assets, so our survey can help you extend their lifespan.
Steam Trap Surveys
Steam traps are a critical part of any steam system, but they can be a common area where energy is wasted. Our steam trap survey uses Ultrasonics and thermographic technology to identify and fix steam trap problems, so you can save money and improve efficiency.
Here are some of the benefits of our steam trap survey:
- Find and fix steam trap problems: Our survey can find even the smallest steam trap problems, which can save you money on wasted energy.
- Reduce safety risks: Steam trap problems can create safety hazards, so our survey can help you identify and fix them.
- Improve efficiency: By fixing steam trap problems, you can improve the efficiency of your steam system.
- Extend the lifespan of your assets: Steam trap problems can damage your assets, so our survey can help you extend their lifespan. We can survey a variety of steam trap types, including: Inverted bucket traps, Float traps, Thermostatic traps (including bimetals), Thermodynamic traps.
We can also identify the following faults: Stuck in the closed position (no flow), Stuck in the open position (constant flow), Improper modulation or fluttering of the trap (mechanical failure or system issues)

Building Envelope Energy Loss Surveys
Did you know that the quality of building insulation can have a big impact on energy loss? Our energy loss surveys can help you identify and fix insulation problems, so you can save money and improve energy efficiency.
Our surveys can identify the following issues:
- Improper sealing around doors and windows
- Insufficient loft/roof space insulation
- Insufficient wall insulation
- Moisture build up within roof or wall insulation
The ideal environmental conditions to perform a building envelope survey are:
- Surfaces free from solar loading (nighttime surveying is preferred)
- The highest temperature differential possible between inside and outside (Law of Thermodynamics – Energy from Hot to Cold)
- Availability of insulation type and thicknesses for walls and roof voids prior to the survey to aid in the calculation of the ‘U’ value
We have the specialists and know-how to help you with all your energy conservation needs.

FAQs
Can an energy survey improve efficiency?.
+
Where efficiency improvements can be made, the overall load and strain on the system are reduced, meaning your system assets will have to work less to produce the same results and, even better, will have a longer service life.
Will an energy survey help save money?
+
Where improvements can be made, this often have a positive impact on budgets, allowing saved costs to be re-invested in even more efficiency-saving projects, such as modern technologies. Our surveys can help identify the savings investments will make and offer recommendations.
Will an energy survey help with business’ carbon emissions?
+
Our services can help improve efficiency and reduce wastage from an energy perspective, all the while identifying where carbon footprints can be scaled back and improving your energy waste output and carbon discharge.
