Transform Your Traditional Home with Electric Ireland Superhomes
Are you the proud owner of a traditional home, or a building professional looking to help homeowners improve their property’s character while achieving a warmer, more comfortable home with less carbon emissions. Electric Ireland Superhomes can help your architect or engineer in preparing their application.
What is the Traditional Homes Pilot Scheme?
Funded under the National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme, the Traditional Homes Pilot supports homeowners to upgrade their properties using materials and methods that respect the unique nature of traditional buildings. Typically built before the 1940s, these homes feature solid masonry walls such as stone and brick to move naturally, and using inappropriate modern materials can lead to issues like condensation and mould. This pilot ensures that energy upgrades particularly insulation, maintain the building’s breathability and aesthetic charm while improving indoor comfort.
How Electric Ireland Superhomes Can Help
As a participating One Stop Shop (OSS), Electric Ireland Superhomes provides comprehensive support for both homeowners and building professionals. For architects and engineers working on suitable projects, Electric Ireland Superhomes offers guidance throughout the application process, ensuring all requirements are met.
To apply, you will need:
- Full planning permission (if required)
- A qualified main contractor
- A conservation-accredited Architect, Building Surveyor, or Structural Engineer to approve the traditional materials being used
Electric Ireland Superhomes manages the grant process on behalf of homeowners, making it more accessible and cost-effective. Our team collaborates with Traditional Building Professionals to create a retrofit strategy that respects the building’s heritage while improving thermal performance.
