Deep Knowledge
Our team’s knowledge spans over 30 years’ experience within the industry. Our engineering team are fully qualified BER assessors and Retrofit Engineers, with knowledge and experience of retrofitting various types of houses and dwellings.
By aggregating the retrofitting of multiple dwellings into a single project, economies of scale can be achieved, both in terms of the professional services (surveying, design etc.) and in terms of the retrofit installation works, to provide cost and time savings for the Client.
Large Projects Team
Our dedicated team specialises in large-scale retrofits for Local Authorities, Approved Housing Bodies, and non-corporate landlords. Led by Mike O’Rourke, with 28 years in building services engineering, and supported by David Ahearne, with 25 years in project and account management, we bring expert solutions backed by a skilled staff of over 50 retrofit professionals.
Local Authorities (LAs)
For Local Authority clients, we can offer a range of services tailored to their requirements and the particulars of the housing stock to be retrofitted under the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme (EERP) and other funding schemes.
For Local Authorities, Electric Ireland Superhomes can provide a range of services to meet their needs from a full energy retrofit consultancy service to the provision of services expected under the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme.
Our Recent Work
From 2022 to date, our Large Project team has been engaged by several Local Authorities, for the delivery of energy retrofit works of over 1000 units.
Electric Ireland Superhomes is currently working with 8 Local Authorities looking after the professional services requirements with a plan to deliver over 400 properties in 2025.
In line with programme rules, our objective is to deliver a minimum B2 post BER rating on all homes. In 2024, 70% of all our local authority houses achieved an “A” post works BER rating.
Looking Forward
This year we have been contracted by additional local authorities for their Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program and are forecasting significant growth in this sector. Under new building Regulations (2025) and New EERP scheme rules, taking effect in 2026, we will be aiming to achieve a minimum BER rating of A3 for dwelling retrofitted under the EERP programme.
