Retrofit West now offering 70% off Home Assessments
We're thrilled to announce homeowners can now get 70% off with our Home Assessment Vouchers. Here's everything you need to know about our newly priced voucher.
What is a Home Assessment?
A home assessment can tell you how energy efficient your home is. There are several types of surveys which can measure your property: calculating heat retention, air tightness and the suitability of installing heat pumps (discover the different types of home energy assessments). Having an assessment at the start of your journey can reduce costly mistakes and disruption.
Our newly priced Home Assessment Voucher, funded by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, provides a big discount for all homeowners.
What’s the Retrofit West Goal?
At Retrofit West, our goal is to help homeowners navigate and understand the process of retrofitting their homes – we want you to feel empowered with information and able to decide the next step for yourselves. If we’re to reach net-zero carbon emissions in the UK by 2050, retrofitting homes to be more carbon and energy efficient is part of the solution. That’s why we’re eager to boost numbers of home assessments to get you started.
Why have we Updated the Vouchers?
- To enhance your retrofit journey – Assessments are the first step to a whole world of home improvement options. With the information provided in your assessment report, you can make small or mighty changes to your property – you decide how to proceed! Being the first step in your journey means that you can avoid costly mistakes and unlock your retrofit future.
- For an easier application – We have stream-lined the voucher application process and webpage to make the survey types clearer and easier for you to choose the most suitable survey. By demystifying the surveys, the path towards a greener home can become clearer.
- Price accessibility – We wanted to make home assessments more accessible to homeowners by offering a larger discount. By enabling a more affordable scheme, more people can get started on their home retrofit journey and enable greener, more comfortable living environments.
How could I benefit from a Home Assessment Voucher?
Increase the Value of your Home
An energy-efficient home offers immediate benefits by lowering energy costs and also boosts its market value of your home.
- An air-source heat pump could boost a home’s value by £5,000-£8,000
- Solar panels could add around £1,350-£5,400 to the sale price
- An electric vehicle charge point could improve value by around £5,000
On average, if you install multiple measures into your home, retrofit could increase the value by £10,000.
Cosier and Healthier Home
Retrofitting your home can make it cosier and healthier by improving insulation, ventilation and installing a heat pump. This maintains a consistent indoor temperature and reduces drafts making your home warmer in the winter but also, making your home cooler in the warmer months.
Cheaper Energy Bills
Installing retrofit measures such as insulation, energy efficient heating systems, and having better ventilation in your home will reduce your energy bills but make it more comfortable not only in the winter but, summer too.
By installing a combination of renewable technologies, a home could reduce carbon emissions by 95% and annual energy bills by £2,000.
Environmental Impact
With the West England Mayoral Combined Authority’s goal to net zero carbon by 2030 along with the United Kingdoms goal to reach net zero gas emissions by 2050. You will be helping reach this goal and by installing measures into your home you can reduce carbon emissions by up to 95%.
