Free Engineer - Our Story

EMPOWERING PEOPLE TODAY BY CREATING BETTER ENVIRONMENT TOMORROW

Why

We have a dream, that a sheltered energy reduction hub where it’s safe, easy, time and money saving to decide on energy reduction for both suppliers and business owners/ household. We believe if we make it easy and instil confidence and trust in decision makers that more energy reduction initiatives will be implemented.
This will translate to more renewable energy being harnessed, saving business owners/ household money and help save the environment for our future children.
Some of FE’s projects will also directly empower people today by saving the environment in the future.

Why not take a journey with us to realise that dream?
