When this typical 1970s home was first assessed, it had a Building Energy Rating (BER) of F—indicating significant heat loss, high energy bills, and poor overall efficiency.
Working closely with an independent BER assessor, Energlaze designed a tailored upgrade plan focused on delivering maximum impact in the most cost-effective way. The goal was simple: create a warmer, more energy-efficient home while reducing long-term energy costs.
A Whole-Home Upgrade Approach
To achieve the transformation, a range of high-performance energy solutions were installed:
- External Wrap Insulation
100mm insulation added to external walls to dramatically reduce heat loss - Cavity Wall Insulation
Walls filled with EPS bonded bead for improved thermal performance - Attic Spray Foam Insulation
High-quality foam applied to rafters to lock in heat - High-Efficiency Gas Boiler
Modern condensing boiler for improved heating efficiency - Smart Heating Controls & App
Full control of heating anytime, anywhere - Solar PV & Battery Storage System
14-panel solar system with battery and app to maximise energy savings - Energy-Efficient Windows & Doors
New uPVC windows and composite front and rear doors for better insulation and security - Aluminium Lift & Slide Door
Featuring advanced Low-E-Plus Suncool glass for superior performance and natural light
The Results
Following completion, the home achieved an A3 BER rating—a remarkable improvement from its original F rating.
As a registered SEAI installer, Energlaze managed the entire process from start to finish, ensuring the homeowner maximised all available grants and experienced a smooth, hassle-free upgrade journey.
