You’ve probably heard the term retrofit, but what does it really mean? Simply put, retrofit involves making upgrades to your home to help it use less energy. These improvements can range from small, simple fixes like installing draught-proofing strips around your front door to larger upgrades, such as external wall insulation or a new energy-efficient heating system.
