🔧 What Is a Home Retrofit?

​

A retrofit means making changes to a home's systems or structure without completely rebuilding it. The goal is to:

  • Reduce energy use

  • Lower utility bills

  • Improve comfort (warmth, air quality, soundproofing)

  • Cut carbon emissions

  • Extend the lifespan of the property

​

🏠 Common Retrofit Services Include:

​

1. Insulation Upgrades

  • Loft/attic insulation

  • Wall insulation (cavity or solid wall)

  • Floor insulation

  • Pipe and water tank insulation
    ➡️ Reduces heat loss and lowers heating bills.

2. Air Tightness & Draft Proofing

  • Sealing gaps around doors, windows, floors, and chimneys
    ➡️ Helps retain warmth and reduces cold drafts.

3. Window & Door Replacements

  • Upgrading to double or triple glazing

  • Installing insulated and airtight doors
    ➡️ Reduces noise, condensation, and heat loss.

4. Heating System Improvements

  • Replacing old boilers with energy-efficient models

  • Installing smart thermostats and controls

  • Transitioning to heat pumps or solar thermal systems

5. Ventilation Upgrades

  • Adding or improving mechanical ventilation systems

  • Ensuring good airflow to prevent damp and mold

6. Renewable Energy Installation

  • Solar panels (PV)

  • Battery storage systems

  • Solar hot water systems
    ➡️ Reduces reliance on fossil fuels.

7. Lighting & Appliance Upgrades

  • Switching to LED lighting

  • Replacing outdated appliances with energy-efficient models

🧩 Whole-House Retrofit Approach

Rather than doing one upgrade at a time, many retrofit specialists recommend a whole-house plan, which:

  • Assesses the entire building’s performance

  • Identifies most cost-effective improvements

  • Coordinates upgrades to avoid future rework

  • Provides maximum energy savings and comfort
