Energy consultant: How to find the right expert for funding applications

According to a report by www.br.de, property owners who want to apply for government subsidies for environmentally friendly heating or insulation of their home must consult an energy consultant. But not all energy consultants offer the same qualifications and expertise. Energy consultants come from different backgrounds, such as master chimney sweeps, architects, civil engineers and heating engineers, which can lead to different skills and knowledge.

When choosing an energy consultant, it is important that property owners consider what training and expertise they have and whether they fit the specific needs of the project. For example, civil engineers and architects are good for questions about insulation and building physics, while heating engineers specialize in heating technology. The exact job title of the energy consultant can be checked in the federal energy efficiency expert list, and references and the experience of the energy consultant are also important criteria.

When looking for an energy consultant, consumers can also use the Bavarian Consumer Center, which offers cost-effective energy advice based on objective and independent advice. These consultants do not aim to sell products, but rather offer comprehensive guidance on the options for insulation and environmentally friendly heating.

However, it is important to emphasize that complaints about energy consultants are relatively rare, and most energy consultants do a good job. However, there is still a need for consumers to choose carefully to ensure they receive the best possible advice and support for their specific renovation projects.
