Aran’s Retrofit Success with Paradigm Housing Group
Aran Insulation has successfully completed a major retrofit programme for Paradigm Housing Group, improving the comfort and energy efficiency of 61 homes across Buckinghamshire as part of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Wave 2.2.
Appointed to deliver a whole-house retrofit, Aran provided a range of fabric and renewable upgrades, including loft and cavity wall insulation, replacement glazing, air source heat pumps (ASHP), solar PV systems and high heat retention electric storage heaters (HHRESH).
