Retrofit support package
Retrofit has so many advantages, from cutting your energy bills and your carbon footprint, to improving comfort, to improving the health and wellbeing of your home and its occupants. But it can feel a bit daunting – so where do you start?
With a thorough assessment of your property carried out by an independent, impartial retrofit expert from Future Ready Homes. Future Ready Homes is the retrofit advice service of long-established Shrewsbury charity Marches Energy Agency.
If you are fortunate enough to live in one of our focus areas, and are funding your own retrofit works, you can apply for our heavily subsidised retrofit support package for just £100 + VAT – usual cost £900.
A retrofit surveyor will visit your home to talk through your individual priorities and wishes, and to assess your options. The visit will involve a detailed analysis of the thermal performance of your home. If conditions allow, this will include thermal imaging, air tightness testing and/or temperature and relative humidity monitoring. You will have ample opportunity to get to know your home better and understand what is achievable in your retrofit project.
You will receive a detailed report setting out recommendations for energy efficiency improvements to make in your home, in manageable stages. We will signpost you to local contractors and installers. You and your contractor will be able to access our technical panel of experts with any questions you may have. And the Future Ready Homes team will be here to support you through your project.
