    Questions & Answers

    1. What is a retrofit survey?

    A retrofit survey is a detailed assessment of your home’s energy performance before carrying out improvement works. It evaluates insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and building fabric to identify areas where heat loss occurs. The survey provides PAS-aligned recommendations for energy-efficient upgrades that improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and support long-term home efficiency.

    2. Why do I need a retrofit survey before home improvements?

    A retrofit survey ensures any planned home improvements follow a fabric-first approach. This means insulation, ventilation, and structural performance are assessed before installing new heating systems or renewable technologies. By identifying potential issues early, homeowners can avoid costly mistakes and ensure upgrades improve energy efficiency effectively.

    3. What does a retrofit survey include?

    A retrofit survey examines the main elements that affect a property’s energy efficiency. This includes walls, roofs, floors, insulation levels, heating systems, ventilation, and areas of heat loss. The survey also considers renewable energy opportunities and provides a clear roadmap for energy-efficient upgrades that meet modern efficiency standards.

    4. Can a retrofit survey help reduce energy bills?

    Yes. A retrofit survey identifies the most effective insulation upgrades and energy improvements for your property. By improving insulation, reducing heat loss, and ensuring efficient heating systems, homeowners can significantly reduce their energy consumption. These improvements often lead to lower monthly heating costs and long-term savings.

    5. Is a retrofit survey required for government grants?

    Many government schemes and funding programmes require PAS-compliant retrofit assessments before approving energy improvement grants. A retrofit survey provides the documentation and recommendations needed to support grant applications for insulation upgrades, heating improvements, and other energy-efficient home upgrades.

    6. How long does a retrofit survey take?

    A retrofit survey typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the property. During the visit, the assessor reviews insulation, ventilation, heating systems, and structural elements that influence energy efficiency. After the inspection, recommendations are prepared to guide future improvements.
