Retrofit Services

PAS 2035 is the retrofit standard introduced in 2019 and is central to the implementation of domestic retrofit in the UK. 

The Retrofit coordinator oversees and manages the design of all retrofit projects. 

The Retrofit Coordinator ensures every project is PAS 2035 compliant.

Retrofit

About Your Retrofit Assessment

The Retrofit Assessor will gather information about the building which will be the subject of retrofit work. Domestic retrofit assessments are extensive and include factors such as the building’s construction, structure, and architectural features. The assessment will also consider the building’s current condition, including any structural defects, and issues such as leaks, condensation and mould build-up. Current installations such as heating and hot water, lighting, and ventilation will be documented. Any protected status, conservation restraints, or planning permission requirements will be investigated before work can begin.

The Retrofit Assessor will also consider information regarding the number of building occupants and special considerations including the presence of vulnerable people, or people with disabilities.

The assessor will require access to all rooms, including the loft, cellar/basement and attached garages.

The assessment can take up to 2.5 hours to complete. 

The assessor will consider all potential energy-saving measures which could be installed at your property, they will also evaluate existing ventilation, they will check windows, doors and mechanical ventilation systems.

Retrofit Coordination and plan 

A whole house retrofit is a comprehensive plan for home improvements. It’s devised with the aim of ensuring that a property operates in as energy-efficient a manner as possible, with all aspects of the building complementing each other.

PAS 2035 requires that all domestic retrofit projects incorporate a Retrofit Coordinator whose job is to oversee the management and design of all retrofit measures.

Retrofit Advisor

Your retrofit advisor is your point of contact to discuss the results of your survey and the retrofit plan designed for your property. The advisor can talk through the plan and also give advice on energy-saving tips.

‘Professional Company run by Professionals. Cannot find fault with their service . Recommended them to a-lot of people and had no complaint about any service, from surveying to boiler installation everything went smoothly.’

Frequently Asked Questions

No, the surveyor will carry out the assessment, but the retrofit coordinator will analyse the information and create the plan – we will talk that through with you after the survey.

It depends on what measures are recommended. After your survey a retrofit advisor will call you and discuss the plan for your property.

We look at how much energy it takes to keep your home at an ambient temperature – we will check how well insulated your house is and how efficient the heating system is – if we can upgrade the insulation or heating we will do this for free – this will lower your energy bills and reduce the amount of fossil fuel it takes to heat your home.

Window Insulation

By Kirsty 0 Comments

window insulation

Windows should offer both beautiful sunshine as well as ample thermal insulation. If your windows aren’t insulated or your current insulation is failing, your home can become draughty and damp. Choosing energy-efficient windows is a great start and keeping windows well-maintained will prevent gaps from appearing. However, adding an insulating layer can greatly reduce heat loss without having to replace your old windows.

We use superior window insulation to keep homes cooler in the summer and reduce heat loss in the winter.

What are the benefits of window insulation?

Window insulation can reduce energy costs for your home all year round. By retaining heat over the winter months you’ll need less energy to heat the space and with a cooler space in the summer, you’ll less likely to need electric fans to cool your home down.

Our insulation is a proven energy-saving solution and provides the following benefits:

  • 20-40% thermal resistance improvement reducing energy use
  • Block out 99% of damaging Ultraviolet and 83% of Infrared light
  • 50% reduction in condensation, reducing mould growth

Is My Home Suitable For Window Insulation?

All homes can benefit from window insulation. Plus, it is a perfect solution for older homes that don’t have double or triple glazing but that have sound window frames and glazing.

‘With the imminent winter season approaching, I contacted many companies but the response from this company was swift and in a timely manner. The insulation and the boiler installation were completed in a professional manner and I felt reassured that the team was always available to respond to any queries.’

Solar PV Installation

Solar PV Installation

Solar panels are made out of photovoltaic cells that convert the sun’s energy into electricity.

Photovoltaic cells are sandwiched between layers of semi-conducting materials such as silicon. Each layer has different electronic properties that energise when hit by photons from sunlight, creating an electric field. This is known as the photoelectric effect – and this creates the current needed to produce electricity.

Solar panels generate a direct current of electricity. This is then passed through an inverter to convert it into an alternating current, which can be fed into the National Grid or used by the home or business that the solar panels are attached to.

What are the benefits of Solar PV?

  • Solar energy is free, so once you have had the panels installed, you will see a reduction in your electricity bills.
  • Solar panels are renewable energy, so you will start reducing your carbon footprint as soon as they are installed.
  • The carbon footprint of solar panels is already quite small, as they last for 25 years plus with no loss in efficiency. And the materials used in the panels are increasingly recycled, so the carbon footprint will continue to shrink.
  • National Grid ESO is preparing Britain’s electricity system to be able to run on purely zero-carbon electricity by 2025 – ready to accommodate whatever quantity of renewable electricity, including solar power, is being generated.

Is My Home Suitable For Solar PV?

Space is a key consideration. The average system size  will typically take up around 20m2 roof area.

An unshaded, South facing roof is ideal for maximum electrical output. East or West facing roofs could still be considered, but North facing roofs are not recommended. A system facing East or West will yield around 15-20% less energy than one facing directly South.

 

Shaded roofs

Any nearby buildings, trees or chimneys could shade your roof and have a negative impact on the performance of your system.

Finding an unshaded spot is best, however sometimes shading is unavoidable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar PV System is able to generate, store and power your home or business of 100% renewable energy from the sun. The Photovoltaic Cells or Solar PV Panels collect packets of the sun’s energy from sunlight, and convert it into Direct Current (DC). This current through your inverter is then changed into Alternating Current (AC) to be used domestically or commercially.

Complete Solar PV System consists of 7 Key Components.

  1. Solar PV Panels
  2. An Inverter
  3. A Solar Battery
  4. A Generation Meter
  5. A Consumer Unit
  6. An Import Meter
  7. The National Grid

As well as being paid for the energy generated by your solar panels, you can also reduce your energy bills by up to 50%. Electricity rates are only expected to continue growing, and a renewable energy source means that you will be able to avoid an annual energy price rise of around 10% a year.

Solar panels are strong and durable, and our solar panels come with a twenty-five year performance guarantee. So long as they receive regular checks and maintenance, however,they can last more than thirty years

Solar panels don’t have any moving parts and are largely maintenance-free. Over time though, weathering and other environmental factors such as dead leaves and traffic pollution could begin to affect your solar panels so it’s a good idea to have your solar panels checked every few years, just to ensure that they are working as efficiently as possible.

This used to be the case, but thanks to the new range of affordable solar battery storage systems, you will be able to store up energy during daylight hours for use through the night. Our clever lithium ion batteries allow you to maximise your energy generation, and use it outside of daylight hours. A home battery will mean that you don’t need to rely on energy from the grid when the sun is no longer shining.

Many customers wouldn’t know this but there are two types of Solar Panels. Solar PV and Solar Thermal.

Both utilise the sun’s energy to produce renewable energy, however through different technologies. Solar Photovoltaic or Solar PV panels, turns direct sunlight into electricity, whereas Solar Thermal panels, turns direct sunlight into heat, to provide hot water. In the great debate between choosing Solar Panels or Solar Thermal.

Solar PV Panels are currently leading. This is because unlike Solar Thermal Panels, Solar PV can be used to generate green electricity as well as heating your water. This is done through installing an immersion diverter/immersion optimiser, such as the Eddi or  iBoost . These Smart devices are able to detect any excess solar generation, and instead of sending it back to the grid, divert it to heating your water tank. This is a great Solar PV system upgrade, which allows your to maximise your Solar energy usage!

The storage capacity your home will require, is dependant on your current electricity usage.
Power usage is measured in kilowatt-hours. Your monthly energy bill will indicate how many kilowatt hours you spend on a monthly basis. To calculate the battery storage you require, Deege Solar will take this value and from there will be able to calculate your energy needs.

To book a free Solar consultation, and to find out exactly what size battery your home

requires, simply contact us.

Yes! Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity that can be used not only power your home appliances but electric vehicles too. Solar compatible EV Chargers such as the myenergi Zappi , are able to divert your excess solar energy from your Solar PV Panels directly to your plugged in EV. It’s simply, drive off sunshine! If you plan on using off-peak times to charge you car, you’ll need a solar battery to store the solar energy you’ve generated throughout the day.

After we’ve assessed your eligibility for funding, your property will have a retrofit assessment survey and a retrofit coordinator will design a plan for your home. We’re not able to give advice on energy efficiency measures for your home until that assessment has taken place.
