Latest buying guides

Start with the essentials. These introductory guides explain what to compare; they are not hands-on reviews of individual products.

Before you choose.

Use the same questions to make different options easier to compare.

  • Suitability: Does the product match your home, existing equipment and usage?
  • Specifications: Are you comparing equivalent measures and operating conditions?
  • Installation: What additional equipment, site preparation or professional work is needed?
  • Running costs: How might your usage, energy prices and maintenance affect the total cost?
  • Warranty: What is covered, for how long and under which conditions?

Ask suppliers to explain assumptions and provide supporting documentation. Actual performance depends on the product and its installation.
