Victorian terraced houses are a common sight across Lancashire, known for their charm but often struggling with energy inefficiency.

As a homeowner or landlord, retrofitting your property can not only enhance comfort and sustainability but also drastically reduce your energy bills.

EcoGiants is here to guide you through the process, and we’ve got an invaluable resource for you: the Retrofit Pattern Book, a free downloadable guide packed with expert advice on retrofitting your home for improved energy performance.

Why Download the Retrofit Pattern Book?

The Retrofit Pattern Book is a comprehensive guide tailored specifically for Victorian terraced homes, a housing type found across Lancashire. This free resource walks you through both simple DIY steps and professional upgrades that can help reduce your home’s carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and save on energy bills.

Whether you’re a homeowner looking to improve your property or a landlord wanting to future-proof your rental, the guide covers practical measures such as:

  • Loft Insulation to prevent heat loss and reduce energy costs.
  • Draught-Proofing windows and doors to seal energy leaks.
  • Glazing Upgrades that improve thermal efficiency.
  • Air Source Heat Pumps for cost-effective and eco-friendly heating.
  • Suspended Floor Insulation to reduce floor heat loss and enhance comfort.

In addition to these improvements, the Retrofit Pattern Book highlights funding options and schemes that can cover much of the cost of retrofitting your property, typically at little to no cost to you.

Funding Schemes Available for Homeowners and Landlords

One of the most significant barriers to retrofitting has been the cost. However, there are several government-backed funding schemes that make retrofitting affordable for homeowners and landlords alike. At EcoGiants, we stay on top of these initiatives to help you take full advantage of them.

Some available funding schemes include:

  • The Green Homes Grant – Covering a percentage of the costs for insulation and heating upgrades.
  • The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) – Helping low-income households access funding for energy-efficient upgrades.
  • Local Authority Schemes – Lancashire councils may offer funding or discounts for retrofitting, particularly for energy-efficiency improvements in rental properties.
  • Landlord Incentives – Some programs are specifically geared towards landlords, offering financial support for making rental properties more energy-efficient.

These funding options, combined with the potential for long-term savings, make retrofitting an investment that more and more homeowners and landlords can afford.
