Free Retrofit Advice for Mid Devon Residents 

We are looking for 20 households to get involved in a project that will give householders a personalised guide to retrofitting their home.  

Thanks to funding from Mid Devon District Council through our joint Energy Boost Mid Devon project, residents across Mid Devon can now access free retrofit advice from ECOE Advice to make their homes more energy-efficient, healthier, and cheaper to run. 

We’re a trusted local charity with years of experience helping households across Devon. Our mission is simple: to make sure everyone has a safe, warm, and healthy home. 

What is Retrofit?  

Retrofit in a household means upgrading older, inefficient homes with modern energy-saving measures—such as improved insulation and efficient heating systems—to reduce energy waste and lower bills. By tackling poor energy performance, retrofitting helps families who struggle to afford adequate heating enjoy warmer, healthier living conditions, while also cutting carbon emissions.  

How it works 

  • Start with a friendly chat over the phone.  
  • One of our team will come to your home and discuss and record your retrofit needs with you 
  • We will present you with a guide outlining the next steps to making your home warmer, healthier and more energy efficient 
  • We can help identify retrofit funding opportunities and may be able to install some home energy improvements 

We offer independent, trustworthy support to help you understand what’s really happening in your home — and which changes could make the biggest difference. With so many competing voices in the retrofit world, it can be hard to know who to listen to. The guidance we provide is shaped around your home, your budget and your household’s lifestyle, so you can feel confident that any recommendations are genuinely in your best interest. 

Participants could receive: 

• Thermal imaging to spot where heat is escaping 

• Borescope testing to check for hidden damp or mould inside walls 

• Airtightness checks to identify draughts and improve comfort 

• Clear, tailored advice on practical steps to cut energy use and reduce bills 

These tools help build a picture of your home — giving you the confidence to make informed decisions, whether you’re thinking about insulation, tackling damp or just wanting to feel warmer without spending more. 

Take the first step today 

If you live in Mid Devon, don’t miss this opportunity. Call us now to start your free retrofit journey. A warmer, healthier home could be just one phone call away.
