Electrify Research is the leading authority on homeowners and the energy transition

Through our Homeowner Electrification Tracker Study (HETS), we deliver the data and insights that organisations need to drive mass adoption of home electrification technologies and their enablers. Namely; heat pumps, EVs, solar, batteries, new energy tariffs, energy provider preferences and lending services.

The energy transition isn’t just a technology challenge: it’s a human one. Homeowners considering making their decarbonisation choices face confusion, inertia and competing priorities. Adoption will stay too slow unless we understand and address these barriers. Electrify Research was created to do just that.

HETS provides the market intelligence needed to decode homeowner decisions, giving you the intelligence to size markets, design propositions and grow your business while also helping to accelerate the energy transition. Understanding the market isn’t optional, it’s essential. HETS facilitates this understanding.
