Warmer home for the winter?
Retrofitting is the process of making changes to a building to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Retrofit should also bring the benefit of a more comfortable and healthier home. Examples of retrofit measures include the installation loft or wall insulation, double or triple glazing.
So, if you want to find local businesses and services in Sedgemoor to find out more about retrofitting, then help is at hand, thanks to a new online Green Directory. You’ll find it here: retrofitsomerset.info/
The website will help residents from across the district find local businesses including architects, construction companies, insulation and renewable energy installers, all in one place.
There is information on energy efficiency and low carbon retrofits through the Retrofit Resources section on the site. And you can find out what some homeowners have already done to retrofit their homes, along with other news, in the Retrofit Stories area.
Take a look and begin your retrofit journey today retrofitsomerset.info/
