What are the benefits of retrofitting?

Retrofitting can have environmental benefits as well as cost benefits for those who undergo the process - these often go hand in hand. Preventing heat from leaking through windows, doors and walls will ensure you are getting the most out of the energy you put into your house. Minimising escaping energy means less energy is required to keep warm, resulting in a financial benefit for the resident. Retrofitting can help reduce emissions, make homes warmer and reduce the risk of health issues.
