Green Retrofitting with Hinckley and Rugby Building Society

Improving energy-efficiency in homes is more crucial than ever in today’s rapidly evolving world. Not only does it contribute to environmental sustainability, but it also offers homeowners significant financial benefits. Recognising this, Retrogreen provides a comprehensive solution to assist you in navigating the green retrofitting process in partnership with Hinckley & Rugby Building Society (HRBS).

Understanding Green Retrofitting

Green retrofitting involves upgrading existing properties with energy-efficient features in order to reduce carbon emissions, lower energy consumption and improve overall comfort. These improvements can also increase a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which in turn can increase property value.

Here are some of the most common home retrofitting measures:

• Insulation improvements:

Upgrading loft, wall, and floor insulation to prevent heat loss

• Efficient heating systems

Installing air source heat pumps to replace older systems

• Renewable energy installations

Adding solar panels to reduce electricity usage from the grid

• Improved glazing

Fitting double or triple-glazed windows to improve thermal efficiency
