I live in an UK 1950s semi. I've slapped solar and a battery into it, and over the next few years I want to step up the energy efficiency+eco impact with retrofitting.
Anybody know of any useful blogs or resources? Any localish companies (North East) who can help?
I'm thinking about #insulation, #underfloorheating, #heatpump, what else? #passivehouse
@coldclimate Take a look at https://www.livinglab.energy/home
They had some great info when I looked - they'll also send you interesting offers for efficiency related things.
I can also recommend buying / renting a thermal camera while it is still cold outside. Use that to spot any heat leaks from your property.

@coldclimate can only point you to our personal experience of fitting an air-source heat pump in a 1910s solid-wall house (i.e. not well insulated; we’re not allowed solar or external cladding insulation owing to being in a conservation area). https://coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2025/11/heat-pump-install/
