Retrofit

The refurbishment of homes and buildings is one of the greatest challenges of the future. The majority of our existing building stock requires some level of retrofit to enable us to live and work more sustainably.  Whether your motivation for a home retrofit is to reduce energy use and fuel bills, stop climate change, improve comfort or appearance of your property, the interest in retrofit is growing.  The Climate Action Plan sets out targets for Net Zero Emissions from buildings by 2050 in Ireland. The plan also outlines ambitious targets to improve the energy efficiency of the Irish housing stock, retrofitting  500,000 homes to at least a  Building Energy Rating, (BER) of B2, over the next 8 years. Under the new Part L, (Conservation of Fuel and Power) of the 2019 building regulations, deep renovations and refurbishment that exceed 25% of the total surface area of the building’s envelope must now be upgraded to reach a B2 BER. 

There are also a number of attractive grants available for home retrofit. These are administered through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Irelands, (SEAI). 

Whatever your motivation for a home retrofit  we can help you  to achieve your goals

Testimonials

Paul Bolger, Bandon, Co. Cork

Ruairi carried out a BER assessment and whole house retrofit plan for my bungalow. Ruairi took a highly professional approach to the assessment and was very pleasant to work with. I was extremely satisfied with the high quality of the work and report which was done at a reasonable cost. Ruairi not only did a BER assessment but also provided a suite of different options for retrofit which was very valuable in terms of decision making about what to prioritise.

Maggie and Tara, Beara, West Cork

Ruairi assisted with our whole house retrofit. He was very responsive, easy to communicate with and happy to adapt plans as we worked through our ideas. He is very knowledgeable about all the latest eco technologies and ready to respond and advise in all areas of our retrofit. We never felt pressured to spend beyond our budget. We recommended his service to friends of ours and they also had a great experience.

Helen and Finbarr, Cork City

We’ve been interested in retrofitting our house for eighteen months but literally did not know where to start. We were immediately impressed with the clarity of [Ruari's] information. We contracted him to do a technical assignment of our home. Ruairi’s thoroughness and attention to detail was impressive. His follow up report was prompt, detailed and easy to read for an ordinary person. Pricing and contacts of contractors to undertake work was very helpful. We are working through his recommendations and are very pleased with progress. We would recommend Ruairi highly as a first step in starting the retrofit journey.

Ger and Carmel, Durrus, West Cork

Our experience with Retrofurb was very positive. Following an in-depth discussion and thorough technical assessment of our home, Ruairi presented us with a detailed and informative report outlining a selection of options for our retrofit journey. Well worth the investment and would highly recommend.

Peter, Ahakista, West Cork

Ruairi provided a inspection and retrofit plan for our home. His inspection was thorough and professionally done and his report was informative and clearly written. He allowed time to explain the details and to discuss options for our house.
