About Us
Electric Ireland Superhomes is a One Stop Shop which looks after all the key stages of a home energy retrofit, from initial design through to project completion along with management of SEAI grant funding. We engage leading contractors and experienced specialists to offer you expert guidance through an often complex process. Our aim is to provide homeowners with peace of mind, quality assurance and when the retrofit is complete, the best home possible.
What is a retrofit?
A home energy retrofit involves carrying out a number of energy upgrade measures in one installation to achieve a warmer, more comfortable, energy efficient home with a BER rating of between B2 and A1. Electric Ireland Superhomes’ philosophy is based on the view that a home is an interrelated and interdependent energy system so we look at the overall effect of a combination of energy measures, including a heat pump, to improve the energy performance of your home.
