The process of adding contemporary, energy-efficient features to an existing house is known as a retrofit. It minimizes a household’s carbon footprint, improves comfort, and helps save energy expenditures.

The most common retrofits are insulation, window and door upgrades, air leak sealing, solar panel installation, and the use of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems .

With the correct equipment and direction, many refit jobs may be completed on your own. But more complicated projects, including structural changes or rewiring, can call for expert help.

The materials needed are listed in full in our do-it-yourself manuals and are available for purchase straight from our online store. To help you make the best decision for your project, each product comes with descriptions and suggestions.

Typically costs vary depending on the project, however retrofitting is an investment that pays off over time through energy savings. Additionally, a lot of projects are eligible for government subsidies or refunds.
