Follow Your Home Retrofit Plan
Towards a More Comfortable Home
The key to achieving the best outcome for your investment is to approach each area of your
home in the right order.
Your ecoHome Retrofit Plan begins with a professional assessment of your
home’s thermal performance.
Your ecoHome Assessment will deliver tailored recommendations specific to your home in a
prioritised step-by-step plan that ensures your investment delivers the best possible outcome.
By taking a targeted approach to improving the energy efficiency of your home, you can
permanently reduce your energy consumption – making your home cooler in summer, warmer in winter and
significantly cutting your energy bills.
How does an ecoHome Assessment work?
One of our highly experienced assessors will visit your home to evaluate its thermal performance according to your chosen home assessment and develop your ecoHome Retrofit Plan.
Our assessor will assess, specify and prioritise the most appropriate solutions for your home, spanning draught proofing, ceiling insulation, underfloor insulation, wall insulation and secondary glazing (which converts fixed, awning and sash windows into perfectly operating double glazing).
Following your assessment you may choose to schedule professional installation of your selected retrofit solutions, or you may decide to take the DIY approach to implement your retrofit plan. However you decide to approach it, solutions can be applied immediately or over time, as your budget allows.
