What Does “Able to Pay” Mean?

Being “able to pay” refers to your financial capacity to contribute to a retrofit project, either partially or fully. While some homeowners can fund improvements themselves, others may be eligible for government-backed grants and utility-funded schemes that reduce the cost burden.

Understanding your “able to pay” status allows you to:

  • Identify whether you can self-fund upgrades
  • Explore grants and subsidies to cover some or all costs
  • Plan your retrofit project efficiently and within budget
Being early adopters has given us invaluable insights, enabling fast project mobilisation while maintaining full compliance with all industry standards. Our success comes from a collaborative, partnership-driven approach that ensures every retrofit decarbonisation project runs smoothly and efficiently.
