Cosy Homes Oxfordshire
A retrofit service for cosier, healthier, more energy efficient homes
The race is on to reach the UK’s Net Zero goal – achieving a balance between emitted greenhouse gases and those removed from the atmosphere – and there is no time to waste. As part of achieving this goal, retrofitting homes needs to takes centre stage.
Because the UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe, nearly 19 million homes in the UK are currently languishing at the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C and below!
Households contribute a substantial 26% of the UK’s carbon emissions, making the renovation and future-proofing of your home pivotal in the battle to halt the accelerating pace of climate change.

are really pleased to be leading on Cosy Homes Oxfordshire, a partnership

owners reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, and make their homes
