  • By identifying energy inefficiencies, a home energy assessment helps you make informed decisions on improvements like better insulation, more efficient heating, or switching to renewable energy. These upgrades can lead to lower energy bills, increased comfort, and a higher BER (Building Energy Rating), which can add value to your home.

  • Our comprehensive home energy assessment gives you everything you need to make informed decisions about improving your home’s energy efficiency. Here’s what you’ll get:

    • A certified BER (Building Energy Rating) – Understand your home’s current energy performance.

    • A full technical report – A clear breakdown of how energy-efficient your home is today.

    • Upgrade recommendations – Expert advice on the upgrades needed to bring your home up to a B2 rating or better.

    • Heat pump suitability assessment – Find out what changes are needed to make your home ready for a heat pump.

    • Comfort and savings report – See how the recommended improvements can make your home more comfortable and reduce your energy bills.

    • Cost estimate – A realistic estimate of the investment required for the suggested upgrades.

    Everything is designed to help you plan your energy upgrades with confidence.

  • We work exclusively with the SEAI Communities Energy Grant Scheme (CEG), also known as the Better Energy Communities (BEC) programme. This scheme allows us to secure the maximum available grant funding for the energy upgrades included in your project.

    Our team handles the application process on your behalf, making it easy for you to benefit from generous supports while improving your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
