Home Energy Efficiency

With most houses in Ireland currently at aC2 rating or lower, how can we get from a G to an A? An A-rated house requires advanced levels of airtightness, insulation and smart heating systems, LED lighting and sources of renewable energy installed e.g heatpumps, solar panels. An SEAI Registered BER Assessor(opens in a new tab) can advise on measures best suited to your home that can bring you to an A-rating. Steps to take may include but are not limited to:

 

1. Insulation
 Insulation can greatly improve the BER of your home. Start with the attic, floor and walls. This is the first step to a more energy efficient home.

2. Low- Energy Light Bulbs
Replace inefficient light fittings with low-energy light bulbs for a noticeable improvement in electricity bills.

3. Solar PV
By investing in solar PV, you will also be making an impact on the BER of your home. When it comes to selling your home, a higher BER will add value and can help you achieve a higher sale price.

4. Heating Controls
Upgrade your heating controls and reduce your energy usage by up to 20%!

5. Heat Pumps
Consider switching from oil or gas to a Heat Pump. A heat pump works by drawing energy from the air, ground or water and converting it to heat you can use to heat your home and hot water. SEAI recommend a fabric first approach to ensure your home is heat-pump ready before installing one.

(***Under new building regulation introduced on November 1st 2019, all new-builds will have to be ‘near-zero energy buildings’. Existing homes undergoing major renovations must be brought up to BER rating of B2).

SEAI offers a once-off €50 grant for a BER assessment under the Better Energy Homes programme (BER must be carried out by an SEAI Register BER Assessor).
