When we first founded A&D, our focus was on heating and plumbing. Over time, we saw the industry changing, and so did the needs of our clients. It became clear that the real opportunity - and responsibility - lay in helping people make their homes more efficient, comfortable and sustainable. That was the beginning of A&D Carbon Solutions.
Today, we are proud to deliver retrofit and decarbonisation services that help households and communities across Wales and beyond. Our mission is to make homes warmer, healthier and more affordable to heat while contributing to the UK’s wider goal of achieving net zero.
Retrofitting homes is about more than energy efficiency. It is about improving quality of life. We often meet homeowners who have lived for years with draughts, damp or high energy bills. The changes we deliver - insulation, ventilation, and renewable upgrades - transform how people experience their homes. They make everyday living more comfortable, reduce energy use and cut carbon emissions.
Our approach at A&D Carbon Solutions is simple. We look at the whole building, not just one part of it. Heating, insulation and ventilation all need to work together if they are to perform effectively. Taking a whole-home approach allows us to design solutions that deliver better, longer-lasting results. It also helps us avoid one of the biggest pitfalls in retrofit - fixing one problem but unintentionally creating another.
The industry is evolving fast, and we are proud to be part of that journey. The UK’s housing stock is some of the oldest in Europe, and improving its energy performance is essential if we are to meet national decarbonisation targets. Through the projects we deliver, we are making a real difference. Each upgraded home saves energy, lowers emissions and supports a healthier environment.
Collaboration is key to our success. We work closely with local authorities, housing associations and energy companies to deliver retrofit programmes that reach the households that need them most. We also partner with trusted subcontractors and suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Every project is built on strong relationships and a shared goal of improving homes and communities.
We are proud of the fact that much of our work supports local economies. Wherever possible, we employ local people and work with regional businesses. That keeps investment in the community and helps create long-term opportunities. Our projects do not just improve homes; they create jobs, build skills and strengthen local supply chains.
Quality and compliance are non-negotiable for us. We understand that retrofit work can be complex, especially when it involves older buildings. That is why our teams are trained to the highest standards and supported by experienced managers who oversee every stage of delivery. From the initial survey to final installation, our goal is to get things right first time.
Being part of the EARNZ Group has given us a platform to do more. It has connected us with other businesses that share our values and ambition, allowing us to collaborate, innovate and grow. We have already seen how working together can drive better results. Sharing knowledge and best practice across the Group helps us refine our processes, expand our reach and maintain the high standards our clients expect.
Our relationship with EARNZ also gives us the scale to take on larger and more complex projects. Whether we are delivering fabric measures, renewable installations or full retrofit schemes, we now have the support and infrastructure to operate efficiently and confidently across multiple regions. That means we can continue to grow without losing the hands-on, client-focused approach that defines us.
Looking to the future, we see huge potential in the retrofit market. The demand for energy-efficient homes will only increase as the UK accelerates its decarbonisation efforts. Homeowners, landlords and local authorities are all under pressure to improve building performance, and we are ready to help them do it.
For us, success is not measured by the number of installations completed but by the difference we make to people’s lives. When a resident tells us their home feels warmer or their bills are lower, that is the real reward. It shows that our work matters and that our approach is making an impact.
At A&D Carbon Solutions, we are proud to be part of a wider movement that is driving change in the built environment. Every project we deliver helps move the UK closer to its net zero goals. More importantly, it helps families live in homes that are fit for the future.
Our purpose will always remain the same. We want to empower homeowners with smarter, sustainable energy solutions that reduce costs and environmental impact. By focusing on quality, collaboration and community, we are building better homes and better futures for everyone.
