We’re on a mission to make homes across North Liverpool more energy-efficient, comfortable and affordable to heat. Through our Retrofit Programme, we’re delivering improvements that make a real difference, including:

  • High-performance insulation to keep warmth in and reduce energy bills
  • Efficient heating systems for a healthier, cosier home
  • Smart technologies to help you manage energy use and save money
What is retrofit?

Retrofit means upgrading existing homes with modern measures that improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The benefits are clear: lower bills, warmer homes, and a greener future for everyone.

Our goal

We’re committed to achieving EPC C rating for all homes by 2030, ensuring every property meets high energy efficiency standards.

Funding streams

Our work is supported by the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), including:

  • Wave 2 and 2.1 EXT – delivering upgrades to hundreds of homes
  • Wave 3 – confirmed funding of £6 million to improve 440 properties, introducing new measures such as Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) for cleaner, more efficient heating.
Wave 3: What’s coming
  • 440 homes to benefit from insulation, ventilation upgrades, and renewable heating solutions
  • ASHP installations – with video tutorials and real-life case studies from customers who’ve already seen the benefits
  • Social value impact – using HACT principles and procurement strategies to reinvest in our communities
