Tell us about your home

Nine short sections. "Not sure" is always a fine answer, and nothing here commits you to anything.

Before you start. We ask for a lot here, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — the assessment is only as good as what you tell us, and a thin answer usually means a thin finding. What this form never asks for is your energy data itself. That comes later, through a private secure link, once you've signed the consent form, and it stays separate from everything here for a reason: hourly usage shows when a house is empty. We strip identifying details from documents as they arrive, use your data only for your engagement, and keep it for one year after the work is done so a follow-up doesn't start from zero — then it is deleted. Ask at any time and we delete it sooner. Please don't put an account number or a password anywhere on this form — we never need either. Questions first? hello@kettleenergy.ca.

1 · About you

Two things need it and nothing else does: modelling your roof from satellite imagery if you ask us about solar, and working out which utility serves you. Skip it and we'll ask on the call instead.

2 · Your home

3 · Your story

In your own words — what brought you here, and what you want to find out.

4 · Heating

The equipment itself is in the table below — these two are separate because they decide what we can find and what data we can get.

5 · What's in the house

Tick what you have. The size column only where it makes sense. Any set times? is the one worth a moment. It covers both kinds — something that switches on at a time, and something that stays on but changes at a time (a thermostat that eases off in the afternoon and comes back in the evening). Either way, put the times.

Your water heater — rented or owned?

Rental tanks are common here, and a buyout fee changes a replacement comparison more than any efficiency figure will. Ownership also decides whether some rebates are open to you at all.

You ticked solar — do you send power back to the grid (net metering)?

This genuinely changes how we read your data. When a home exports, the utility records what you bought rather than everything you used, which hides part of the picture.

6 · Anything you're about to buy

The most useful moment to talk to us is before you spend, not after. If there's a quote in hand, that is exactly the job.

7 · Your data

This decides how much the assessment can actually prove.

9 · Meter and panel

Both only matter for what is possible later — the meter for sensor work, the panel for whether a charger, heat pump or electric tank can be added without an upgrade. Rough answers are fine.
