Retrofit Energy Assessment
What is Retrofit Energy Assessment?
Our retrofit energy assessments employ techniques such as the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) inspection, ventilation analysis, and potentially thermal imaging to evaluate the current energy efficiency status of the property and we propose actionable improvements.
A thorough retrofit audit is the most reliable method of understanding the most suitable improvements for your home. The assessment will indicate the improvements needed to cut fuel bills and carbon emissions and improve comfort and health. It will consider things like your flood and radon gas risk levels, and whether your existing ventilation system is adequate, alongside suggesting energy-efficiency improvements and options for your heating system. It will be tailored not just to your property but to your needs and circumstances, and offer a range of different retrofit options.
Key Benefits of Retrofit Assessment
You get a list of all necessary changes, avoiding the risk of undertaking a single task only to discover additional work is needed later.
You receive a comprehensive plan outlining the potential return on investment, both in terms of reduced bills and enhanced property value.
Your retrofit assessor can connect you with accredited contractors, streamlining the process of finding reliable professionals to execute the necessary improvements.
Frequently Asked Retrofit Questions
How is a Retrofit Assessment Carried Out?
During the initial phase of the visit, the retrofit assessor engages in a comprehensive discussion with you regarding your property, your envisioned improvements, and any potential impediments such as financial constraints, structural limitations, or time constraints. Subsequently, they undertake a Reduced Standard Assessment Procedure (RdSAP) inspection, focusing on analysing your house's energy consumption to achieve a specific heating level. Additionally, the assessor conducts a ventilation assessment to evaluate your property's ability to manage moisture and related issues.
How Long Does an Assessment Take?
A typical home retrofit assessment usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours.
Is a Retrofit Assessment Suitable for Any Type of Property?
Yes, a retrofit assessment can be conducted for various types of properties, including residential homes, apartments, and commercial buildings. Our assessments will be tailored to suit the specific needs of your property.
Can an Assessment be Conducted Alongside Other Work?
In most cases, it is feasible to schedule an assessment alongside other work going on in your property, provided that it is safe for the retrofit assessor to manoeuvre around the property. In fact, we strongly encourage bundling multiple tasks together as it offers cost savings by having builders already on-site, minimises disruptions by consolidating all construction activities into a single visit, and contributes to reduced carbon emissions, thus aligning with environmental sustainability goals.
How Much Does an Assessment Cost?
The cost of a retrofit assessment typically ranges from £420 to £900, contingent upon the size of your property. For an accurate quote, please complete our enquiry form for a free quote.
