Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
@retrotecchie. I’ve not heard of the MEEC.
there has been a consultation on the Home Energy Model, which ended in late March and was the brainchild of the previous government. What the new government have in mind is beyond me.
Assuming the new government will adopt something along the line of the HEM doesn’t help as the methodology is very complicated and wasn’t even finalised at the time of the consultation.
I think the driving thought was to use carbon emissions rather than the cost of fuels in the assessment.So whereas a gas boiler scores better than strove radiators currently and a heat pump similarly, gas will be frowned upon and heat pumps favoured in the new scheme.
but if there are any links to the MEEC please post the as my searching failed miserably.
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.

what is not clear is whether these proposed regulations have actually been enacted. There’s been so many twists and turns about these measures affecting rental properties, the implementation date and what the standards that would be applied are to be.
I think the MEH consultation will likely inform whatever standard is decided upon. Having different standards for owner occupied homes compared to rented properties might be a complication too far.
In 2018, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) Regulations were introduced to improve energy efficiency in privately rented properties in England and Wales. The Regulations have applied to all tenancies since April 2020, even those where there has been no tenancy change.
Landlords must not continue to let a residential property with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of F or G. Landlords must ensure that all properties have a valid EPC and that rented properties meet at least an E rating unless a valid exemption has been registered.
Recommendations for energy efficiency improvements can be found on the EPC for the property.
A MEEC is a Minimum Energy Efficiency Certificate. The 'rental' equivalent of an EPC.
