Home Energy Retrofits in Scarborough
Scarborough's large stock of 1960s–1980s detached homes means a lot of properties with original windows, attic insulation and furnaces. HES helps Scarborough homeowners qualify for approved cost-neutral retrofit programmes that lower utility use, with no upfront cost.
