FAQs
1
What is retrofit and why is it important?
Retrofit means upgrading existing buildings to boost energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and improve comfort. It’s vital for lowering energy bills, tackling issues like heat loss and damp, and integrating smart and renewable technologies. At AVARA, we use detailed assessments and PAS 2035-compliant plans to deliver tailored, sustainable retrofits that help buildings meet net-zero targets.
1
What types of surveys and assessments do you offer as part of the retrofit process?
We offer a comprehensive suite of surveys including energy performance assessments (SAP/EPC), insulation and heat loss analysis, heating system evaluations, moisture and damp surveys, and technical feasibility studies for smart tech and renewables. These allow us to build a complete picture of your building’s current performance and create a tailored, PAS 2035-compliant retrofit strategy.
1
What ongoing support do you provide after the retrofit is completed?
We don’t stop at installation. Our service includes post-installation evaluations, building performance monitoring, and ongoing reporting to ensure retrofit measures meet energy performance goals. We provide ongoing advice and support to optimise system efficiency and address any issues promptly.

How does your approach differ from other retrofit providers?
Unlike firms that offer one-off services, we take a holistic, end-to-end approach from assessment through to strategy, delivery, and post-installation monitoring. Our work is driven by deep PAS 2035 expertise, the latest technology like thermal imaging and BIM, and a commitment to sustainability. Every solution we deliver is tailored, compliant, and focused on long-term performance, not quick fixes.

How long does a retrofit project usually take?
Retrofit projects are carefully planned and executed to ensure long-lasting, high-quality results rather than quick fixes. Timelines vary depending on the building’s size, condition, and the scope of improvements, but we always prioritise thorough assessments, tailored planning, and expert installation to deliver sustainable upgrades that stand the test of time.
