🌍 Meet Helene, climate-conscious #landlord & retrofit professional who turned to Ecofurb for a home retrofit plan she could trust. 💁 Discover how Ecofurb's phased retrofit plan & Knight Frank Finance's advice have helped Helene begin her journey to go far beyond minimum #energyefficiency standards.

Ecofurb - We're here to help landlords decarbonise too!
"It's a relatively small investment to make to get the report done... it gives you that baseline understanding that allows you to go out and have informed conversations with contractors."
"From start to finish, it exceeded all my expectations".
Helene - private landlord - Victorian ground-floor flat

"We could do the minimum and get up from an EPC D to a C and leave it there… but we both feel quite strongly that, from a climate action point of view, we should be doing as much as we can."
"The report gave us a clear roadmap. Phase one is something we’re acting on immediately. Phase two will happen when we remortgage. Phase three is further down the line."
"Doing that first phase of work could actually unlock better interest rates on further lending… I wasn’t expecting to find out anything I didn’t already know, but I came away really pleasantly surprised."

Ecofurb - we're so grateful for feedback like this!

"The report was exactly what I needed. Provided me with a detailed analysis of the potential savings I could make with associated investment cost and a phase plan for delivery. The consultation with George was also extremely helpful. He was able to answer all our questions and provided helpful suggestions and explanations throughout. All in all exceeded my expectations."

Great analysis of @corelogicuk.bsky.social data from Knight Frank Finance on cost/carbon impact of #MEES. 🔑Stats: ⚡️ D to C upgrades could cost £5,841, F/G £14K+ 💸 £21.6bn total across private rented sector 📉 4.5m tons of CO2 reductions (5% residential sector) www.knightfrank.com/research/art...

Cost & carbon: the potential for stricter minimum efficiency standards in the private rented sector

The government plans to reintroduce the requirement for all domestic rental properties to reach an EPC C minimum by 2030. What is the potential cost and carbon saving of the policy?

Rising #energybills fueling #retrofit interest, but homeowners still prioritising traditional #homeimprovement over #energyefficiency upgrades. Big gap between awareness & action! 👉 Our Home Retrofit Trends Index identifies possible financial & policy solutions: ecofurb.com/home-retrofi...

Ecofurb - The Low Carbon Home Service: Home Retrofit Trends Index (January 2025)

Retrofit market context & trends

- 62% of homeowners recognise energy bill reductions and saving money as a reason to consider home improvement. 57% recognise this as a benefit of home retrofit.
- and while 46% of homeowners are planning home improvements in the next 12 months…
- only 32% of these planned home improvements are energy efficiency upgrades

so we need to bridge this awareness-action gap

EPC reforms are coming! So if you’re a #retrofit radical or an #energyefficiency aficionado, now is the time to have your say (submit comments here 'til 26/2/25): eu1.hubs.ly/H0fbbC30 We also believe an Ecofurb Plan is much better than an EPC for home energy performance improvements. Here's why.

EPC reforms are coming! But we think an Ecofurb Plan will get you further forward faster on your home retrofit journey.

From EPC to Ecofurb

(1) We’re welcoming the reforms to energy performance certificates for homes - but we believe that, even with changes, the advice will be too generic for most homeowners

From EPC to Ecofurb

(2) Every home is different. And an Ecofurb Plan will provide much more granular data, specific to your home, as well as possible cost & installation scenarios specific to your budget and needs

From EPC to Ecofurb

(3) Also - we connect you with installers you can trust from our network, and oversee their works to get you from ‘advice’ to ‘all done’ faster than you can say Ecofurb!

Vaughan wanted to get #fossilfuelfree while avoiding the nightmare his neighbours were facing with contractors. We helped him plan & coordinate the #retrofit measures being installed, resulting in lower bills (and stress)! Full story: ecofurb.com/real-life-ec... #energyefficiency #sustainability

A picture of Vaughan and his retrofit coordinator sat at a table smiling, half-surrounded by a red border. At the bottom of the image is a quote which says, "Ecofurb I think offers a de-risking process. You don't have to vet contractors and think 'well, are they actually any good?", followed by "Vaughan, 1990s detached house".
