What is a home energy upgrade project?

A home energy upgrade project increases the energy rating in a home through a number of measures. This includes upgrading your insulation, installing efficient ventilation systems, replacing existing windows and/or doors, and the use of renewable technologies such as solar panels and heat pumps. 

A combination of energy upgrade measures will provide a better energy rating for your home.

The better your building energy rating, the warmer and more comfortable your home will be.

What Is BER?

A Building Energy Rating (BER) certificate rates your home's energy performance on a scale between A and G.

A-rated homes are the most energy efficient while G-rated are the least energy efficient.

Which Energy Upgrades Are Covered?

Multiple energy improvements are recommended (3-5 measures) to gain a warmer home. Some of these works typically include:

• Attic, internal or external insulation
• Heating system upgrade
• PV solar panels for electricity
• A heat pump to replace oil or gas
• Window and door replacement
• Demand Control Ventilation or Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
• Certified Wood Burning Stoves

Reduce your homes carbon footprint

Its Good For The Environment

Upgrading your home will reduce your carbon footprint

The science is clear. Not only will an energy retrofit save you money, it will also help the environment, reducing your homes demand for energy from the grid and other traditional power sources.

A home with a high BER rating will heat quicker and retain the heat for longer. Combine that with an increase in a modern homes ability to harness renewable energy and you can dramatically reduce your home carbon footprint.

A Customer Testimonial
"We are delighted with our new home. What used to be almost impossible to heat is now always warm. We have just had our first Winter since the refurb and retrofit, we can't get over the difference. Our ESB bill was less than half it was last year.

David and his team were great to work with. They understood ours was a family home and treated it with great respect, leaving the site spotless when they left. The quality of the finish still impresses us 9 months later.

Thank you David and all the crew!"
