How will I know if my home needs improvements?

RetrofitWorks will carry out a whole-house assessment to confirm if your home needs any energy efficiency improvements and identify what the best type of improvements are for your home. We will ask you to provide some information about your home in your application to help speed up the process but don’t worry if you don’t have it. 

Your home is likely to need improvements if it:

  • is more than 30 years old or has an old boiler or heating system 
  • has no central heating system or has old storage heaters
  • has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D, E, F or G
  • is cold and draughty
  • is difficult to keep warm
  • suffers from condensation

For homes that are less than 30 years old, the type of improvements that can be made may be more limited.

If you need more information, there is a Warmer Homes Advice Service helpline in your area, run on our behalf.
