About Us
Cambridge Retrofit Hub is a One Stop Shop which looks after all the key stages of a home energy retrofit, from retrofit design through to project completion. We engage leading contractors and experienced retrofit specialists to offer you expert guidance through an often complex process. Our retrofit specialists aim to provide homeowners with peace of mind, quality assurance, and, when the retrofit is complete, the best home possible. We believe that the best way to achieve a comfortable, healthy and low-carbon home is through a whole house retrofit powered by a renewable energy heat pump. In an energy efficient home, insulation, air-tightness, advanced ventilation and a retrofit specialist designed heating system work perfectly together to deliver the best possible energy system for your home.
What is a retrofit?
A whole house energy retrofit involves carrying out a number of energy upgrade measures in one installation to achieve a warmer, more comfortable, energy efficient home with an EPC rating of B and above. Cambridge Retrofit Hub’s philosophy is based on the view that a home is an interrelated and interdependent energy system. Draughty doors will result in heat loss no matter how efficient your heating; and even in a well-insulated house, some rooms might be cold if the heating system is badly designed.
For this reason, a Cambridge Retrofit Hub home energy upgrade looks at the overall effect of a combination of energy measures, which are designed in such a way that they work together successfully. The retrofit is done once and it is done right and starts with a rigorous assessment of your home’s current energy performance. Once this is established, we can begin the process of designing your Energy Efficient Home based on the following interrelated factors.
