What is retrofitting?

This is the process of making improvements to your home that make it more energy efficient. This could mean:

  • making it easier to heat
  • making it stay warm for longer
  • replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy

While any home can benefit from upgrades, older homes usually have more problems. There are many upgrades to think about. This could include solar panels, or heat pumps.
