Renovating? We can offer a consultancy service that combines a home energy upgrade with significant home improvements, such as renovations, extensions, or attic conversions, helping you to get the most from your money. Our consultancy team is here to support you at every step.
In order to be eligible, your contractor or architect must be a registered retrofit partner of Electric Ireland Superhomes.
Our consultancy team is Led by Kathleen Cahil and Anthony Farrell. Our team of experienced retrofit advisors and engineers collaborates with our partner architects and contractors to seamlessly integrate the home energy upgrade while the renovation, extension, or attic conversion work is being carried out. This flexible approach brings together the best experts, all working toward one goal—creating a warmer, cosier modern home for you to enjoy.
This service is for homeowners looking to conduct significant renovation, extension or attic conversion work while also energy retrofitting their home.
Request a FREE 20 minute Online Consultation to receive a basic assessment of your home, an estimate of costs and SEAI grants, and hear about your next steps.
We follow a 7-step process for all our projects designed to reduce hassle and stress on your retrofit journey.
Take the first step towards a greener, healthier home.
Please note – separate processes apply for the consultancy service and large projects service.
Our Retrofit Advisor will schedule an Online Consultation to discuss your home and planned works, timelines and SEAI grant funding available, and explain the next steps.
We review your home, your renovation plans and your energy retrofit options to deliver you a detailed Energy Report. This report includes your projected BER rating when works are complete and outlines the best grants available to you.
The Home Energy Report will review your architect's design for compliance with the grant programme and meeting Electric Ireland Superhomes standards. It includes confirmation of the amount of SEAI grant funding sourced for you.
After your Home Energy Report is emailed to you, we schedule an Online Video Call to go through the report in detail. If you are satisfied with the recommendations in the Home Energy Report, we can then prepare a contract for the retrofit and agree a start date with you.
We prepare contracts for your retrofit and a programme of works (start date, end date, milestones etc) is agreed with you and the appointed contractor. Works commence.
Your Retrofit Engineer carries out an interim check on the retrofit works in progress and a detailed final inspection once the project is completed.
Electric Ireland Superhomes carries out a final inspection on the completed retrofit. There may also be an inspection by SEAI which will also be attended by your Electric Ireland Superhomes Engineer. A final BER is carried out by an Independent Assessor confirming your new BER rating.
