Old Homes weren’t Built for Now. But they can be Brought up to Speed.
Across the Northern Beaches, we see it every day. Homes that are structurally solid but leak heat in winter, trap it in summer, and waste energy quietly, month after month. At askerrobertson, we help fix that. Not with patchwork solutions but with clear assessments and smart upgrades that make a real and lasting difference.
This isn’t about chasing rebates or installing the latest gadget. It’s about improving how your home feels day to day, season to season and doing it with care, not chaos.
Your Home is Unique. So is the way we Upgrade it.
No two builds are the same. Floor plans differ. Window placement varies. Even the way your home sits on the block changes what’s needed. We start by understanding what your home already has – and what’s holding it back.
- Thermal diagnosis and heat flow correction: We find where your home loses comfort and we fix it at the source.
- Insulation and draught sealing upgrades: High-impact, low-drama changes that improve year-round comfort.
- Smart window replacements or shading advice: Not every home needs double glazing, though most homes would need double glazing to meet the updated energy efficiency standards and every home benefits from thermal control.
- Energy system planning without the guesswork: Solar panels, batteries, heat recovery ventilation units (HRV’s), modern hot water systems etc. We help you decide what fits now and what you’ll thank yourself for later.
You won’t be upsold. You’ll be informed.
We work Quietly, Cleanly and Respectfully
A home is more than a structure. It’s where your life happens. That’s why we treat upgrade work with the same care and planning as new builds. We explain everything. We handle approvals if needed and we try to stay out of your way as much as possible.
Our clients include growing families, downsizers, investors and people who are simply ready to enjoy their home more without burning through energy. Some want to improve energy efficiency before selling, others just want to stay warmer in winter and more comfortable in summer.
Whatever the reason, we know how to make it count.
Bring your home up to standard. Without the stress.
You don’t need a complete rebuild to get big results. With the right upgrades, your current home can feel lighter, quieter and be much more energy efficient. Let’s talk about what’s possible and what’s practical.
