The Story

The couple wanted to transform their home into a comfortable, cost-effective space for retirement while embracing sustainable living. They focused on energy-efficient solutions like underfloor heating, insulation, an air source heat pump, and solar panels to reduce costs and minimise their environmental impact. Our team worked closely with them to ensure the project aligned with their vision, using the latest energy-saving technologies and quality materials to create a comfortable, eco-friendly home for years to come.

After receiving their free summary, the homeowners arranged a call with our team to discuss how home improvements could lower energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. They decided to move forward with our full retrofit plan and we conducted a detailed assessment of the property.

Following the plan’s finalisation, we recommended the best options to maximise their budget and return on investment. They chose a deep retrofit, which we managed from start to finish.

Air Source Heat Pump

The couple opted for an air-source heat pump to improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and lower their carbon footprint.

For retirees on a fixed income, the heat pump’s high efficiency helps manage heating costs, offering peace of mind.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating for its comfort, efficiency, and energy savings. It provides consistent warmth from the ground up, ensuring an evenly heated space, especially beneficial for older adults.

Solar Panels

The homeowners installed built-in solar panels to reduce energy bills and keep in line with their home’s aesthetic.

By generating renewable electricity from sunlight, they can cut reliance on the grid, avoid rising utility rates, and protect against price fluctuations.

Full Insulation

The couple chose loft and cavity wall insulation to ensure heat is retained in their home leading to reduced heating costs and enhanced comfort.

By retaining heat and preventing drafts, the insulation ensures a consistent indoor temperature and long-term savings on heating bills.

“"My Home Retrofit made our project so much easier. We discussed our goals and budget with the team and they came back with the perfect solution. Work was completed on site to schedule with minimal intrusion. The team was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the whole process and ensuring everything was tailored to our needs. I'm so grateful for their expertise in making my home more eco-friendly and cost-effective."”
