How Many Trees Does Your Home Save With Eco Upgrades?
Every energy-saving upgrade you make reduces carbon emissions. Butwhat does that mean in real life?
Let’s turn those carbon savings into something easier to picture — trees.
Because trees absorb CO₂, we can compare your retrofit’s carbon impact to how many trees it would take to do the same job.

The Science
- An average mature tree absorbs ~22 kg of CO₂ per year
- Your home’s carbon emissions depend on your heating system, insulation, and energy source
- By switching to renewable tech, you reduce emissions — and the tree-equivalent savings add up fast

How accurate are these numbers?
We use government-published emissions factors and conservative tree equivalence.
Does my impact change if I already use green electricity?
Yes — your emissions are already lower, but heat-related carbon still applies.
Can I combine my retrofit with tree planting?
Yes — and we can help you do both. Ask about our partner reforestation projects.
