While planning to make his home more energy efficient, Russell, one of our founders, felt frustrated: he wanted to know which improvements would have the greatest impact on carbon emissions, which would bring the most value, and how they would work together.
He found that the advice he wanted didn’t exist – it was either too generic or too biased.
Ecofurb is the service he needed, providing impartial advice that considers the needs of each home and its owners.
APPLYING OUR EXPERIENCE
Ecofurb is delivered by Parity Projects and their partners with expertise in delivering surveys, advice, quality assured installations and relevant financial advice and services.
They have a shared ambition to decarbonise the country’s homes, and many of the team have completed low carbon renovations of their own home.
Together they have advised over 2 million landlords and homeowners on energy efficiency and low carbon heating options, and quality assured works to ensure they deliver on their promises.
FEE TRANSPARENCY
We believe in a fair and open fee structure.
We charge homeowners for advice: starting with a detailed home survey, a consultation with an expert Retrofit Coordinator, and a tailored Ecofurb Plan.
If you take up a referral to a contractor we charge a fee to the contractor. The difference is that unlike most referrers, we really know the contractors and their standard of work. We work together regularly delivering larger projects, so if a contractor isn’t performing, we know. And all partners pay the same, so a company can’t pay to be first in line for leads.
