Frequently asked questions
-
We’re already working with multiple small businesses to reduce their bills, and reduce their carbon footprint in the process.
We are also working with credible public sector and academic partners. These include Durham Council, and Durham University, and we are supported by the London mayor.
-
UpGreen determines savings using public building data, partner data on energy usage for other SMEs, and our proprietary algorithms to come up with the upgrades that might work for your space, and how much those upgrades would save on your energy bills.
-
Our partner installers do upgrade work when it is convenient for you, and most of the projects we recommend only take a few hours to complete. We take great care not to interrupt business operations and work with you to coordinate work outside business hours, or at other times that work for you.
-
There's no obligation to proceed with any upgrades. We're here to see if the upgrades are possible, and understand potential savings.
Should you choose to proceed, we will work with your landlord to cover the up front costs of the upgrades.
After that, you pay a low monthly fee to UpGreen, that’s lower than your energy bill savings.
We will be completely transparent: we will let you know the upgrades we propose, what that would entail, how much it would save you, and how much the monthly fee will be - we will only proceed, if you agree.
