Free initial energy assessments for commercial premises.
Explore opportunities across lighting, solar PV, battery storage and controls with a free initial assessment for qualifying commercial premises.
Free initial commercial assessment
Start with the opportunities on your site
You do not need to arrive with a fully formed installation project. Our initial assessment helps identify where an electrical upgrade may be worth exploring. We discuss how your premises operate, review available electricity information and look at suitable opportunities for improvement. The free offer is an initial review, subject to location and site suitability. Detailed modelling, temporary metering, engineered designs and comprehensive reports can be quoted separately.
A focused first step. The free initial assessment covers a review of available bills and operating patterns, a visual overview of lighting and controls, initial solar and battery suitability, and a brief summary of opportunities. Site visits depend on location and suitability; a remote discussion may be offered first. Detailed modelling, temporary metering, engineered designs and formal compliance assessments are quoted separately.
How we can help
What we’ll look at.
Lighting & controls
A visual review of existing lighting and control arrangements, with discussion of practical upgrade opportunities.
Solar & battery suitability
An early discussion of whether renewable generation and storage may suit the premises and its electricity use.
Clear next steps
A brief summary of the opportunities discussed and the further information or surveys needed for a project proposal.

Bring together the information you already have
Electricity bills, operating hours and a description of the premises can provide a useful starting point without installing monitoring equipment. Tell us which areas operate continuously, where lighting is left on and whether the business has changed its hours or added equipment. These details help direct the initial discussion towards the parts of the site worth reviewing.
Aegis is based in Nottingham and considers commercial assessment enquiries locally and further afield. We confirm location and suitability before arranging a free initial review, which may begin remotely. There is no need to prepare an engineered brief first; the purpose is to understand the opportunity and agree sensible next steps.
Consider improvements together rather than in isolation
Different electrical improvements address different parts of a business's energy use. LED lighting and controls may reduce unnecessary lighting demand, while solar PV and battery storage need to be considered against available space, consumption patterns and the proposed system. Understanding these relationships helps create a more useful installation brief than selecting equipment without site context.
We can also discuss existing air conditioning use and planned EV charging where they affect future requirements. The introductory review identifies areas for investigation; it does not establish a guaranteed saving or replace the surveys and analysis needed to develop a particular project. Recommendations depend on the information available.
Know what happens after the initial review
Where an opportunity looks suitable, the next step is to define the work needed to prepare an installation proposal. That may mean a more detailed site survey, confirmation of existing equipment, consumption analysis or temporary monitoring. We explain what further information would be useful and agree any separately chargeable work before it is undertaken.
The free initial assessment is intended to help qualifying commercial clients explore practical installation opportunities. Detailed modelling, engineered designs, temporary metering and formal compliance assessments sit outside that introductory offer and can be quoted separately. You can then consider a defined scope and the basis of any estimates before deciding whether to proceed with an installation.

Useful to knowYour questions,
Your questions,
answered.
Is the initial assessment really free?
Yes, for qualifying commercial premises, subject to location and suitability. We confirm the scope before arranging it. Any separately chargeable survey or design work would be agreed in advance.
Will I receive a detailed energy audit or guaranteed savings?
The free initial assessment is an introductory review, not a formal compliance audit or detailed engineered report. Savings estimates and further analysis depend on the project and the information available.
What information should I have ready?
Recent electricity bills, annual consumption or spend, operating hours and photographs of lighting and available roof space are useful. We can begin with the information you have.
Can a business in rented premises enquire?
Yes. Tell us whether you own or lease the premises and what control you have over the building and its equipment. Some proposed alterations may need the property owner's involvement or permission, which should be established before an installation is agreed.
Do we have to replace several systems at once?
No. The discussion can focus on a single concern or a wider review. Suitable opportunities can be considered in stages, with the priority informed by your needs, available information and the further work required to develop each proposal.
