Energy Saving Recommendations

Targeted energy saving advice for your property

Every property is different, and so are its energy saving opportunities. At E&F Retrofit Services Ltd, we provide clear, tailored energy saving recommendations based on real survey data, not guesswork.

Our advice is designed to be realistic, cost-effective, and suitable for your specific home or portfolio.

With over 20 years of experience in the energy and housing sector, we help homeowners, landlords, housing providers, and contractors understand where energy is being lost and what can be done to improve performance.

Based in Wrexham, we work throughout North and Mid Wales.

Where our energy saving recommendations come from

Our recommendations are usually generated from one or more of the following services:

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
• Retrofit assessments (PAS 2035)
• Technical fabric surveys
• Digital floor plans and building performance analysis

By combining detailed property data with our technical expertise, we can identify the measures that will make the biggest difference to energy use, comfort, and long-term building health.

Types of energy saving recommendations we provide

1. Fabric Improvements

The building fabric plays a major role in how much heat is lost. We may recommend:

• Loft and roof insulation upgrades
• Cavity or solid wall insulation
• Floor insulation improvements
• Draught-proofing measures

These improvements help keep warmth inside, reduce heating demand, and make the property more comfortable.

2. Heating & Hot Water Efficiency

We can advise on ways to improve the performance of your heating and hot water systems, such as:

• Modern, efficient boilers or low-carbon heating systems
• Smart controls and thermostats
• Improved radiator placement and balancing
• Hot water cylinder insulation and pipe lagging

3. Ventilation & Moisture Control

Good ventilation is essential for indoor air quality and to prevent damp or mould. Recommendations may include:

• Upgraded extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms
• Trickle vents and controlled ventilation strategies
• Balancing airtightness with fresh air supply

4. Lighting & Appliances

We also highlight simple, low-cost opportunities, including:

• Switching to low-energy lighting
• Optimising appliance use and settings
• Behavioural changes that reduce unnecessary energy consumption

5. Low-Carbon and Renewable Options

Where appropriate, we can identify whether technologies such as solar PV, heat pumps, or other low-carbon solutions may be suitable for your property and where they fit in an overall improvement plan.

Benefits of professional energy saving recommendations

Having structured, property-specific recommendations helps you:

• Reduce energy bills by targeting the most effective measures
• Improve comfort and indoor air quality
• Plan upgrades in stages, according to budget
• Increase EPC ratings and prepare for future regulations
• Protect the fabric of the building and reduce maintenance issues

Instead of guessing which improvements to make, you get clear guidance based on real building data.
