Working with energy efficiency and heat pump installers you can trust
This is a service built from experience – it’s what I needed when retrofitting my own home, and is developed from 20 years experience helping homeowners and landlords across the country with theirs.
For me it was well worth it to have someone to help me, including referrals to companies that you know are going to do a good job.
An Energy Efficiency Service
you can trust
1. Free Online Advice
Looking for free energy efficiency advice? Our retrofit advice service is powered by the same modelling used by local authorities and the landlords of over 2 million homes to plan for net zero. Ecofurb puts the power of those calculations into your hands.
Our free online energy efficiency advice invites you to refine the details of your home and your budget, and to enter your home energy goals. This means we can identify a package of energy efficiency measures that is likely to suit your home, your household and your budget. And estimate what it could cost.
2. Tailored Ecofurb Plan
Online advice is helpful but is no substitute for a home survey and tailored, expert energy efficiency advice.
Our Ecofurb Plan service starts with a home survey. This includes detailed measurements, 360° photography, drone footage to check roof condition, and learning more from you about your home and the way you live in it.
One of our Retrofit Coordinators will analyse all this information to prepare your Ecofurb Plan, and take you through the detail. The Plan sets out how energy efficiency measures could save you money and cut your carbon emissions, based on the detail of your home, and our Retrofit Coordinators’ expert knowledge of the options available.
3. Trusted Partners
Many of our customers turn to us as they don’t know who to trust. We help in two ways.
To help you pay for your home improvements, we’ll check if energy efficiency grants are available, we work with banks to meet their green finance requirements and we offer independent financial advice, with advice available on mortgages, equity release and relevant home improvement loans
On completion of a Plan, we offer quotes from vetted installers, where available. For extra protection, your Retrofit Coordinator will oversee quality by applying their knowledge of your home, the technicalities of energy efficiency works and our quality assurance framework.
