Become a HomeFit Installer
The HomeFit online check gives consumers an indication of how close they are to achieving the standard and if close, how to have the home independently assessed. If there are improvements needing to be done first, these are included in a detailed report, along with the opportunity to contact an installer directly from the HomeFit app. If you would like to become a HomeFit installer please email us here.
