WELCOME TO
ENERGY TRACERS - BRISTOL
Introduction
Energy Tracers CIC operates via a network of social franchisee companies. Each in a defined area.
​
Area Covered
The map below shows the West of England Combined Aurthority (WECA) area, which Energy Tracers -Bristol operates in. Our Tracers are distributed across this. If you live close by in localities without an operating Franchisee, then a Tracer from Bristol can cross the border to you. So please choose the closest one when booking. Notice the Tracers can also cover east Monmouthshire via the Severn bridges.
Building characteristics
Bristol has particular problems with old properties both small terraced eg around Easton to large mansions eg in Clifton. Also the hilly Terrain creates wind and draught problems (Exposed Locations) Our Tracers have training to cover this.
Retrofit West Voucher scheme.
The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) has acquired a grant from central government to accelerate domestic retrofit in their area. The Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) has formed a company, Retrofit West CIC, as a one stop retrofit shop. Energy Tracers is an approved supplier of services.
To kick start Retrofit West, they have introduced a voucher scheme to fund discounts on services. This has allowed us to reorganise and expand our services for residents of WECA only.
Off each service the discount is 66% which we receive direct from Retro West at completion of each service.
Below is the new comprehensive structure
