What is retrofit and why is it important?
Retrofit means improving an existing home so it keeps heat in, uses less energy, and feels more comfortable to live in. Read more about this on our website.
Many homes were built a long time ago and were not designed to stay warm or dry. Retrofit helps fix this by improving the homes insulation, heating and energy systems, making it warmer in winter, healthier all year round, and cheaper to run.
It also helps homes cope better with changes in the climate, such as colder winters, hotter summers and wetter weather.
