Process

The aim of Electric Ireland Superhomes is to provide the best support possible to design and complete your whole house retrofit. Our team of Advisors, Retrofit Engineers and leading retrofit contractors are part of our ‘One Stop Shop’ approach to guide you through the entire process to deliver a warm, comfortable and healthy low-carbon home.

We look after all the key stages of your whole house retrofit, from initial design the whole way through to the management of SEAI grant funding. We engage leading contractors and experienced retrofit specialists to deliver the best quality retrofit in Ireland and, at the end of the process, the best home possible.

Please note – separate processes apply for the consultancy service and multiples service.

Step 1 - Initial Consultation

Our Retrofit Advisor will schedule an Online Consultation to carry out a basic assessment of your home, estimate costs and SEAI grant funding available, and explain the next steps.

Step 2 - Home Survey

A rigorous Home Survey is carried out by our Retrofit Engineer. This ‘baseline’ assessment includes a full BER analysis and examination of your building fabric and heating system.

Step 3 - Home Energy Report

Recommends a fully-bespoke package of measures to bring your home to Electric Ireland Superhomes standard. It includes the tendered (or estimated) costs and confirmation of the amount of SEAI grant funding sourced for you.

Step 4 - Design and SEAI Grant Application

Once you are satisfied with the recommendations in the Home Energy Report, we can finalise the grant documentation and start work on designing your heating system.

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.

Step 6 - Project Supervision

Your Retrofit Engineer carries out an interim check on the retrofit works in progress and a detailed final inspection once the project is completed.

Step 7 - Completion

We will provide you with a detailed Homeowner Manual, explaining everything you need to know about running and maintaining your new energy system, and a new BER certificate showing your energy rating.
