Future-Proof Your Home and Save Money

Does retrofit actually pay for itself, or is it just another expensive home upgrade? Is it possible to future-proof your home and save money? In this episode, Phil Spencer is joined once more by Daniel Kittow from Vibrant to tackle the money question: is retrofit worth it financially, and how do you make the numbers work in your favour? They explore the real returns on energy upgrades, why retrofit can outperform traditional investments, and the common financial mistakes homeowners make when planning improvements. Plus, Dan shares why jumping in with the big ticket items first might actually be the smartest move, what grants are still available, and how energy efficiency can help you pay off your mortgage years earlier. What motivates you most: lower bills, increased comfort, or protecting your home's value?
