Retrofit Assessments

Our retrofit assessment service gives you a clear, evidence-based understanding of how your property performs and what improvements will make a real difference.

It is designed for homeowners and landlords across the Isle of Man who want to reduce energy use, improve comfort, and plan works properly from the outset.

A retrofit assessment forms the foundation of any effective upgrade strategy. It ensures measures are appropriate for the property and avoids issues such as condensation, damp, or poor performance.

What is a Retrofit Assessment

A retrofit assessment is a detailed survey of your property, covering construction, condition, energy performance, and how the building is used.

The aim is to build a complete and accurate picture so that any improvements are proportionate, practical, and aligned with best practice.

This is particularly important for older and traditional buildings, where the wrong approach can create more problems than it solves.

What the Service Includes

We carry out a structured assessment of the property, including:

  • Full survey of construction type and condition

  • Review of insulation, heating systems, and ventilation

  • Identification of heat loss areas and performance gaps

  • Consideration of occupancy and how the building is used

  • Photographic record and supporting data collection

  • Baseline energy performance review

  • This forms the basis of a clear and practical improvement plan.

Recommendations and Outputs

  • Following the assessment, you will receive:

  • A clear summary of current performance

  • Prioritised recommendations for improvement measures

  • Guidance on insulation, heating, ventilation, and fabric upgrades

  • Advice on sequencing works to avoid unintended consequences

  • Indicative energy and cost savings where appropriate

  • All recommendations are tailored to the property type, age, and construction.

Who This Service is For

This service is suitable for:

  • Homeowners planning energy improvements

Why Choose 3CO
