How do you know whether or not you are maximising your energy savings through house insulation?
And what’s more, does the insulation you’re using meet and pass building regulations? When you consider the fact that over 70 of properties in Ireland are either lacking in insulation or inadequately insulated you’ll see why it makes sense to consider retrofitting.
Retrofitting means applying new insulation technology (foam, spray foam, blown in, foam board) to older systems so as to improve energy efficiency and save you money.
