"Everyone deserves a warm, comfortable home without costly bills and yet 11.7 million homes sit at the D energy rating or less. Sadly, energy efficiency has been the poor relation to the low-carbon technologies that grab headlines. But if your home is cold and draughty, no amount of Co2 savings is going to be better for you. We’re building Furbnow to be the go-to platform for homeowners who want advice and support as they plan and install low carbon technologies and energy efficiency elements in homes,"
Existing shareholders including Origin Energy, Tokyo Gas, and CPP Investments provided the funding.
"We remain obsessive about customers – we’ve been awarded “Which? Recommended” an unprecedented 6 years in a row and according to consultants Bain**, Octopus Energy is rated 44 points higher than the next best company."
Norrsken led the seed round alongside IPGL, Plug and Play, and notable angel investors.
"We’re demonstrating to UK consumers that being green doesn’t have to be a choice between doing what’s right for the environment or doing what’s best for your pocket.

Energy Impact Partners led the funding round to support product development and international expansion.
"Transportation is responsible for nearly a quarter of the global energy related CO2 and road transport makes up the lion’s share of it. EIP targets the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions,"
