Brought to you by Quality Built Homes Just like kitchen appliances, your home can
be rated for energy efficiency If your home is energy inefficient, your heating
costs could - quite literally, be leaking outdoors.
An energy efficient home wastes very little in heating costs
There are a number of areas in your home where you could make savings on your heating costs.
Also, you could be heating some parts of your home too much.. if you are over-heating your
home by just one degree, you could reduce your annual heating costs by 10%
The SEAI Home Energy Saving Scheme provides funding to make energy saving changes to your
home. To add insulation to your roof, your Walls
and to upgrade your boiler and heating controls
For your roof, the HES scheme provides €250 towards attic insulation.
If you already have attic insulation, you can add more, to make even more energy savings.
If the attic space is to be used, the insulation can be added beneath a simple raised platform.
Depending on when your home was built, your walls may have very little.. or even no insulation.
If you have no idea what insulation is in your walls we can have a look.. by drilling
a small hole and inserting a tiny camera we can check to see what's in there.
To insulate your walls, we can attach insulated plasterboard to the inside of the wall. This
is called Interior Dry lining. The HES scheme covers €2,500 towards Dry lining. An added
bonus of doing this is that your interior walls will have a fresh new skim-coat finish
If there is little or no insulation in your cavity walls, you can have the void pump-filled
with insulation. The scheme caovers €400 towards pumped cavity wall insulation.
If dry-lining and pumped cavity insulation are unsuitable options QBH can attach External
Wall Insulation. The HES scheme covers €4000 towards exterior wall insulation.
To make your central heating system more cost-efficient. the HES scheme provides...
€700 to replace an older boiler and to install modern heating controls.
If your current boiler is modern and efficient, the scheme will provide €500 towards installing
modern heating controls
To see just how effective these changes to your home will be, a BER Assessment is carried
out. The scheme provides €100 towards this assessment.
