When we launched the Assess+ mobile app back in March, our main goal was simple: to streamline workflows for energy assessors and make time in the field as efficient as possible. By bringing EPCs, Retrofit Assessments and more into a single mobile app, we wanted to eliminate the hassle of toggling between legacy apps and enable easy data capture via a mobile phone.

A few months in, we are incredibly grateful for the positive feedback we’ve received from our members! One particular member, David Fox, Director at Retrofit Services (2035) UK, shared that the functionality and navigation on his iPhone runs seamlessly and he is delighted that he can now use the app conveniently on his mobile phone.

We know that choosing an accreditation scheme isn't just an admin task - it's a vital business decision. That’s why ecmk is built around supporting you. We don't just launch software and walk away - Assess+ is our baseline for continuous investment, ensuring you always have the most reliable tools to get the job done right.

Why assessors are making the switch to ecmk:

✅ All-in-one tech: Effortless data and photo capture from an iPhone and iPad.
✅ Fair, sustainable pricing: Flat, competitive EPC lodgement fee - £3.23 +VAT (no "low-volume" surcharges).
✅ Expert support: Direct access to a dedicated in-house team of technical specialists and qualified assessors who care about helping your business thrive.

Whether you are a high-volume firm or just starting out, we’re here to help make your energy assessment work easier.

There is no better compliment than hearing we’ve made a real difference in a member's business.

We recently caught up with Kristen Jones, who shared his experience of moving to ECMK after years with a larger accreditation scheme.

Kristen found that the difference in customer service was immediate. By providing direct access to knowledgeable experts who take the time to help, we've helped Kristen move away from the frustration of long queues and slow support.

He also shared some great feedback regarding our latest software: "It is constantly updated and works efficiently - from lodging EPCs to managing my daily workflow.”

We really appreciate the kind words from Kristen. Feedback - whether good or bad is such a vital part of being able to develop the scheme with assessors front and centre.
