Delivering Retrofit at Scale Isn’t Simple

Councils face increasing pressure to:

  • Reduce fuel poverty and support vulnerable residents
  • Deliver measurable carbon reductions
  • Meet national and local Net Zero commitments
  • Manage complex funding schemes and compliance requirements

At the same time, internal resources are often limited, and schemes such as ECO4, GBIS, HUG and SHDF require specialist delivery, audit-ready processes, and resident-first engagement.

Improveasy exists to bridge that gap.

Improveasy provided a reliable, professional delivery partner, allowing us to focus on strategic objectives while ensuring residents received high-quality, compliant upgrades

Council Programme Lead

Excellent service from Improveasy. Communication was brilliant. I had a new combi boiler installed by Matthew and he was excellent explained everything before commencing work. He was assisted by Chris who like Matthew was brilliant. They did the installation in a morning and took great care of our property whilst doing their work. I would definitely recommend Improveasy

Pauline

The customer service was top notch, they kept us informed of the offer and what was going on. The team of installers were all brilliant, courteous and efficient. They were tidy, friendly and helpful and completed the job in no time at all

Sally Davis

From the outset, I had full information from the team re appt times, paperwork etc. Danielle booked apts, she contacted at every touch point. Luke checked in to see if each part of the work had been completed and to check if I was happy. Each of the engineers/fitters were pleasant, tidy and showed me how to use everything. Boiler installed is so easy to use and the fitter was brilliant
