But while you’ve probably heard a lot about the benefits of insulation, solar panels and air source heat pumps, it can be hard to know where to get sound, independent and sensible advice on what to do in your own home.

Ecofurb is a low carbon home service that specialises in expert retrofit consultations tailored especially to your home, priorities and budget.

One of Ecofurb’s retrofit coordinators will draw up a detailed plan that works for you. If you choose to go ahead with it, they’ll also find you a quote from the company’s network of knowledgeable, vetted installers, before overseeing the work all the way up to the final sign off.
