So what is “retrofit”?
You may have heard the term retrofit, but what does it actually mean? While it’s commonly used in the energy efficiency world, many people aren’t quite sure what it involves.
Simply put, retrofit means making improvements to your home that help it use less energy. These changes could range from small, simple fixes like installing draft-proofing strips around your front door to larger upgrades, such as external wall insulation or a new energy-efficient heating system!
The thing that puts people off the most is the worry about potential disruption and cost. But here’s the good news: there are ways to make these improvements without the hassle or the high price tag. Government grants are available to help with the cost, and you may be eligible depending on your home’s current energy efficiency and your household income.
Introducing the Fairer Warmth App
To make the process easier, we’re launching the Fairer Warmth App in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge later this week! This FREE, easy-to-use app will guide you through the world of energy-saving, grant funding and retrofitting.
The app will show you simple steps you can take to make your home warmer, drier and cheaper to heat. Plus, it will help you discover what grants or energy-saving support you might be eligible for.
Keep an eye out for the launch later this week – once live, simply follow the link, answer a few quick questions, and you’ll get personalised advice based on your property and circumstances!
