Schemes
Cosy Homes, Oxfordshire
This scheme, part funded by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is a pilot being led by Low Carbon Hub and National Energy Foundation and was launched to customers in April 2019. The RetrofitWorks delivery model is being used to bring together an organised supply chain made up of local organisations. Other partners include Local Authorities and marketing consultants.
Ecofurb, London
Ecofurb works across London, providing a whole house approach to improving the energy efficiency of your home. An Ecofurb Coordinator will talk with you and survey your home, so that they can produce your Ecofurb Plan. This report shows your home’s current performance, what you could achieve, and a phased plan taking you as close to net zero carbon as possible. If you are planning a renovation or multi-improvement works we can get you quotes from our network of contractors, who are members of our cooperative, and we oversee the work to make sure it is completed to the required standards. To find out more about what we do and to register your details with us, please visit our website.
Customers will be able to access retrofit finance alongside the scheme in 2025.
Greater London Authority (GLA) Warmer Homes 3
RetrofitWorks is happy to work again with the Greater London Authority on their Warmer Homes scheme to bring warmer, more energy efficient homes to residents across London.
In April of 2022, energy prices increased by 54%, at a time when Londoners are already being affected by the growing cost of living crisis. RetrofitWorks are working together with the Mayor of London to support those impacted by focussing on immediate actions of making homes greener and warmer, reducing energy use and, therefore, lowering bills and cutting carbon. These actions will particularly help the most vulnerable Londoners who are disproportionately affected by the rising cost of living.
The Mayor of London’s Warmer Homes programme provides free heating, insulation and ventilation improvements for low income Londoners who own their own homes or rent privately.
To apply, please visit the below website to see if you are eligible for the scheme. Please note that applications must go through the Mayor of London website to be considered.

Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery
Working with local authorities, our Local Authority Delivery schemes deliver the Green Homes Grant for homeowners & landlords in England.
Like our other schemes each homeowner will be assigned a Retrofit Coordinator who will produce a Whole House Plan showing the home’s current energy performance and a plan to improve this through retrofit measures which are appropriate for the home. Quotes are sought for the chosen work from within our cooperative and the Retrofit Coordinator works with the homeowner and contractors to agree quotes. Coordinators then oversee the installation and ultimately sign off the work for the contractor to receive payment once work is completed to the desired technical standard.
This scheme was successfully delivered and was completed in May of 2022.
