Improve Your Home – Why?
The "Magic" of Insulation
Insulation works by providing a continuous boundary of the “building envelope,” between conditioned indoor spaces and unconditioned outdoor spaces. Low levels of insulation, plus gaps and voids in the insulation materials can provide pathways for heat and air to easily flow into or out of a home. Approximately 40 percent of feeling physically comfortable is due to radiant heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding interior surfaces. Increasing insulation reduces this radiant heat exchange, maintaining a more consistent level of comfort throughout a house.
Up to 50% Savings on your Energy Bills
The number one recommendation to help you reduce energy bills is by adding insulation. Most Irish homes are not well insulated. Older homes are particularly vulnerable, leading to high heating bills. Having an energy efficient home starts with proper levels of insulation. When homes are adequately insulated, it takes less energy to heat them. Insulation in your walls and attic keep the living space conditioned and allows your heating system to run more efficiently and thus reduce your energy consumption
Comfort
“A state of ease and satisfaction and bodily wants, with freedom from pain and anxiety.”
Is your home cold and draughty in the winter? Is the temperature upstairs between a few degrees different from the temperature downstairs? Insulating your home will help keep your living space or “Comfort Zone” consistent throughout your home. This makes for a more comfortable living space throughout your home.
Improved Energy Rating
Improving the ability of your home to retain heat will improve the BER – Building Energy Rating of your home. While there may be no visible sign of the energy improvement works your home will qualify for an improved BER Certificate which in time to come will be an important way of differentiating the value of similar homes in similar areas.

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Properly insulating homes worldwide would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 133 Billion Kilograms over 10 years
Reducing Energy Consumption reduces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. Improving the air quality in our homes and reducing the incidence of environment illness’s such as asthma
