Our home visits can help with:

• Which retrofit measures are best suited to your home - such as insulation, solar panels and heat pumps
• Advice on grants you may be eligible for
• Solutions to issues such as damp and mould, condensation or underheating

What happens after a home visit?   

Following the visit, you should have a better understanding of your home, how it’s built, potential causes of issues you could be experiencing and the kinds of upgrades that are available to you to improve it. We can then support you to decide the next step on your journey to a warmer home that’s better for the environment!

Retrofit is the process of making alterations to an existing building to improve its energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Retrofit is sometimes also referred to as home upgrade. 

These improvements make your home easier to heat, able to retain heat for longer, and provide options for replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.  

Retrofit measures include:

• Improving insulation in walls, roofs, and floors.
• Enhancing ventilation to manage indoor air quality. 
• Upgrading heating systems to more efficient ones. 
• Installing double or triple-glazed windows to reduce heat loss. 
• Sealing gaps to prevent drafts and improve comfort. 

With high energy bills continuing to have an impact on most households, retrofitting could help you make energy cost savings. 

By working together to create warmer homes and lower heating costs, we’re all contributing towards the fight against climate change.
