Home Energy Assessment
A Home Energy Assessment is a detailed technical report on the energy performance of your home.
This will provide all the necessary information to map out how to upgrade the energy performance of your home. This is required by SEAI before we can offer a One Stop Shop service.
One Stop ShopThe Assessment Includes:
- A Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment.
- A full technical report on the energy efficiency of your home.
- Details on the energy upgrades needed to get your home to a B2 rating and better.
- A heat pump technical assessment detailing the energy upgrades required to make your home suitable for a heat pump.
- A report explaining how the recommended energy upgrades will improve the comfort of your home and help to reduce your energy bills.
- An estimate of the costs of the recommended energy upgrades.
This report is yours to do with as you choose. You are under no obligation to proceed with upgrades following your Home Energy Assessment report and likewise if you do wish to undertake works you are under no obligation to proceed with these through Home Comfort Retrofits. We are confident that you will be pleased with the professional service we offer and will be happy to choose Home Comfort Retrofits as your partner when you are ready to upgrade your home.
If you are considering individual measures and do not wish to carry out a full retrofit with a One Stop Shop solution a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment may be sufficient.
