Whole House Plan
Every home improvement project needs a plan.
A Whole House Plan is a document which looks at your house and explains what changes you can make to it, in what order to make the most of your money. It is a roadmap for works present and future for your house, developed by a qualified retrofit professionals in consultation with you.
Cost: £750 (incl. VAT)
Introduction
A Whole House Plan is a tailored report that draws the roadmap for an energy efficient, sustainable, and comfortable home through retrofit.
A survey is carried out by a retrofit assessor who examines your existing building fabric, heating systems, and sources of energy.
Your energy demand and CO2 emissions are calculated, and step-by-step solutions, prices, returns and CO2 savings are detailed for each proposed measure.
The sequencing helps homeowners take the right first step when they cannot undergo a full retrofit at once.
Our proposed measures follow the ‘fabric first’ order which is best practice in retrofit, where maintenance works, improving the energy efficiency of your walls, floors, roof, and the air leakiness of your openings take precedence. We then look at sustainable heating systems and finally, renewables.
Once the report is finalised, a follow-up conversation with the Coordinator ensures you understand the report, and you are confident in the next steps towards a more sustainable home.
