Many homeowners find the idea of retrofitting their homes overwhelming, and it’s easy to see why. The process can seem complex, but with the right guidance, it’s entirely achievable. Our MyHome Retrofit Hub is here to provide you with all the information you need to make well-informed decisions about improving your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. Here we will explore some of the benefits of retrofitting your home.
Why Retrofit? The Benefits You’ll Experience
One of the key advantages of a home retrofit is the significant improvement in comfort. Imagine coming home to a consistently warm house, no more dealing with cold rooms or worrying about heating up water for hot water bottles before bed. A well-executed retrofit ensures that your home maintains a comfortable temperature year-round, giving you a cosy space no matter the season.
In addition to comfort, retrofitting your home can make a significant difference in your property’s value. According to a study by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI), 69% of agents believe that Building Energy Rating (BER) is a major factor in property offers. BER ratings, once a minor detail, have now become a key consideration for homebuyers.
Energy Efficiency and Modern Ventilation
Retrofitting with a heat pump system is one of the most effective ways to enhance your home’s energy efficiency. Heat pumps offer a sustainable way to heat your home, while also ensuring a steady flow of fresh air through advanced ventilation systems. These systems provide automatic, continuous airflow, ensuring your home is always well-ventilated, and improving both comfort and efficiency.
While manual ventilation like opening windows is still an option, automatic systems take care of it for you, ensuring optimal air quality and comfort without effort.
