retrofit energy efficiency

Retrofitting your home can significantly improve its energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability while reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills.

Retrofitting involves making upgrades and improvements to existing homes to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. These upgrades can include installing insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, improving ventilation, and integrating renewable energy technologies such as solar panels or heat pumps.

Whether you’re looking to enhance insulation, upgrade heating systems, or install renewable energy technologies, retrofitting offers numerous benefits for homeowners.

Our Homeowners Services

Retrofit Assessor

A fabric-first approach maximises your property’s full potential before considering other measures. It looks at the design and construction of the property before any building work is considered.

  • Homeowners work closely with assessors for tailored results
  • Identify any existing or potential property issues and problems
  • Advice on costs and budgets specific to a domestic retrofit
  • Discover how to integrate renewable energy technologies
  • Develop a Retrofit Plan to follow for short, medium and long-term
  • Enables you to plan and budget for your retrofit home improvements

Retrofit Coordinator

Our Retrofit Coordinators provide expert help and assistance, working and coordinating with all parties involved in the domestic retrofit of your property to ensure the desired retrofit outcomes are achieved.

  • Make your home energy efficient hassle-free.
  • Have an independent expert on your side.
  • Save time, money and stress by getting your energy efficiency project managed.
  • See your domestic retrofit project delivered on time and within budget
  • Get a whole-house approach to energy efficiency
  • Avoid costly mistakes with installers

Retrofit Assessment

Retrofit Assessments provide a more advanced assessment of the property and the potential technical pitfalls that need to be considered in the plan.

  • A home energy assessment including thermal, construction, ventilation and air and moisture movement.
  • Identification of any damp, mould, cracks, leaking gutters or roof issues.
  • Easy-to-follow final reports for designers and installers.
  • A more advanced building condition assessment of your property, reviewing the condition inside and outside of your property.
  • An occupancy assessment, detailing your actual usage of energy from the heating to hot water use.
  • Cloud point surveys as part of drone survey if required.

Damp and Mould

Damp and Mould can build up leading to you developing health conditions. It is important to eliminate damp and mould when it is identified to ensure your home is a safe environment for you and your family to live. Eliminating mould and damp means:

  • Identify the root causes of damp and mould
  • Ensure your home reaches its full potential
  • Your home becomes more energy efficient
  • Improves air quality
  • Improving the safety and better your health
  • Protects your investment

Air Tightness Testing

Air Pressure Testing will enable us to identify and calculate the air tightness of your home enabling you to take the next steps to making your home better energy efficient.

  • Identify and calculate the air tightness of your home
  • Identifying the root cause of your draughts
  • Reduce draughts throughout you home
  • Avoid condensation build up
  • Improves your energy efficiency
  • Saves you money on your energy bills

Thermal Imaging Survey

Thermal surveys provide non disruptive or invasive imagery of your home which looks for uncontrolled air leakage and heat loss.

  • It looks at the structural materials, surfaces, insulation and fixtures of your home.
  • Uses thermal imaging cameras that scan the property to provide an image of potential heat loss.
  • Assesses the energy efficiency of a property.
  • It looks for where heat and energy are being lost and where draughts are.
  • Identify cold spots on buildings – an area where too much heat passes from the inside to the outside.
  • Can detect water damage on flat roofs.

Ventilation Survey

Ventilation surveys helps reduce condensation and mould growth. Ventilation is the exchange of fresh air from the outside with stale and moist air from the inside of the property. Poor ventilation causes pollution and condensation to be trapped inside homes. Survey could include some of the following:

  • Trickle vents on windows
  • Door undercuts
  • Extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens
  • Existing vents such as air bricks
  • Underfloor vents
  • Roof ventilation
