FAQs | Greenwatt

Q: Will we need to vacate the property during the retrofit?

It’s not always necessary for you to vacate the property for the entire duration of our works, so we will advise you on how long you’ll need to stay elsewhere and when it will be possible to move back in. We pride ourselves on being the fastest in the industry, so rest assured we’ll have you back in your house as quickly as we can.

Q: When is the best time to carry out a deep retrofit?

We will work with you to find a suitable time for your home retrofit. Once we have carried out an evaluation of your requirements, we will advise you on what work needs to be completed as part of your retrofit and how long it will take. Then we can work out a suitable date to start work. If you are considering any type of construction work on your property, it would be ideal to do all the retrofit work around the same time. (Please note that we are a fully registered building contractor, so we can complete many construction jobs that you may be considering for your home, for example, extensions.)

Q: What elements are considered in a home retrofit?

We survey your house to ensure it is structurally sound and suitable for the retrofit work that is required. We assess moisture levels, ventilation, identify any problems with damp, and where heat is escaping from the property. We then put together a complete package of works to upgrade your house.

Q: Why get a deep retrofit?

Apart from the obvious benefits of a warmer home, lower energy bills and going green, getting a home retrofit will ensure that you get the best solution for your home. You will get an upgrade plan for your whole house, ensuring solutions that compliment each other, rather than a piecemeal approach where you could end up with installations that work against each other and cause problems in the long run. Best of all, you only have to deal with one contractor and the whole job will be done.

Q: What is a home retrofit?

It starts with an assessment of your existing house to identify areas where your house is wasting energy. We advise you on what work needs to be done and arrange a date to commence work. We then complete the work as quickly as possible to minimise disruption to your daily life. You get to enjoy your warmer home, lower energy bills and do your bit for the environment.
