Our schemes
We design, host and deliver energy efficiency programmes either on behalf of our Advocate Members or as a service provider under contract. Here is a summary of our Live and Developing schemes.
Live Schemes

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, how we can help you access the Green Homes Grant, and to register your details with us, please visit our website.
Warm Homes Check, East Sussex County Council
The Warm Home Check service has been provided by RetrofitWorks and Citizens Advice (Advocate Member) since Nov 2018. The service offers advice and support to anyone who struggles to keep warm at home. Private residents on a low income may also qualify for a free home visit which includes:
- advice on getting help to pay for heating
- an assessment of your home to identify how to keep warm
- small works such as improving insulation or repairing boilers
- emergency temporary heating.
Installation of replacement boilers, central heating systems or home insulation is also possible subject to eligibility and limited availability of additional grants.
The service can be accessed via the ESCC website warmeastsussex.org

Warmer Sussex
RetrofitWorks has partnered with a range of local community organisations to secure Government funding to build a local market to transform the housing stock of Sussex. Warmer Sussex launched in October 2019 and is is an alliance of expert advocates, advisers, designers and contractors that have worked for many years. Together we are seeking to make homes more comfortable, cheaper to run and less impactful on the planet.

Developing Schemes
Homes as Energy Systems (HAES) – ERDF Project, Manchester (December 2019)
RetrofitWorks is a partner in a ground-breaking project to show how to get our existing homes to zero carbon by making them part of the energy system, so be able to generate an income to help pay for works to radically reduce their energy use.
We are going to spend £1 million on 20 private homes across Greater Manchester to see how far that will get them to zero net energy use and carbon emissions. More details available here
