Retrofit done properly
Your home should be warm in winter, cool in summer, and affordable to run. But for many Oxfordshire households, that’s not the reality. Draughts linger, bills climb, and rooms never quite feel right.
Retrofit is how that changes – upgrading your home so it works better for you: cutting wasted energy, improving comfort, and lowering carbon emissions.
Done well, retrofit gives you a home that’s easier to live in, healthier, and ready for the future. Done badly, it can mean wasted money and missed opportunities.
That’s why we exist. Cosy Homes Oxfordshire was set up as a partnership project to bring retrofit expertise to households across the county. Retrofit is what we do – it’s in our DNA – and it’s how we help people like you create homes that work better for your life today, and for the world we all share tomorrow.
Why we start with a plan
The best retrofit doesn’t begin with picking products – it begins with understanding your whole home. That’s why we look at your house from top to bottom – from insulation and ventilation to heating and renewables – so you can make joined-up decisions instead of guesswork.
Some homeowners choose to start with a Whole House Plan – a clear roadmap showing which upgrades to prioritise, in what order, and why. Others come to us with one change in mind, like insulation or a heat pump, and we help them see how it fits into the bigger picture.
Wherever you begin, we’ll make sure every step brings you closer to a home that’s warmer, healthier, and future-ready.
What’s in your plan
If you decide a Whole House Plan is right for you, it gives you:
- A professional energy assessment of your home
- Clear recommendations tailored to your goals
- Indicative costs and estimated energy savings
- A phased approach if you’d like to spread upgrades over time
It’s about turning uncertainty into confidence – with advice you can trust, grounded in your home, your budget, and your priorities.
Why choose Cosy Homes Oxfordshire?
Retrofit expertise, not product sales
We’re independent. We don’t sell boilers, windows, or insulation. Our only goal is to help you understand what your home really needs – and in what order – so you can invest wisely.
Local knowledge that makes a difference
We know Oxfordshire homes – from Victorian terraces and rural cottages to post-war semis and modern builds. Our coordinators work with vetted local contractors who understand the quirks of older properties and the standards needed for quality retrofit.
Planning built around your life
No two households are the same. We’ll design your plan with you, so it reflects how you use your space, your budget, and your ambitions – not just the bricks and mortar.
Comfort that lasts
Retrofit is about more than saving energy. It’s about creating a home that feels right in every season – warm in winter, cool in summer, and healthy all year round.

Real people, real changes
Across Oxfordshire, homeowners are already making retrofit work – from insulation and glazing to solar and low-carbon heating. Some start small, others go big. What unites them is planning: knowing what to do, when, and why.
We’re here to help you take the first step – and every step after that.
Working with local communities
We don’t just work with individual homeowners – we work hand in hand with climate action groups across Oxfordshire. From running community events to offering one-on-one advice, we share retrofit knowledge and help more people take the right next step.
Together, we’re building a more sustainable future – one home, one neighbourhood, and one community at a time.
