FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand our clients can have many questions before embarking on a new project with us. We've laid out some of the most common questions we get asked below.

1. What types of home insulation do you offer?

We provide a full range of insulation solutions for Irish homes, specialising in attic and cavity wall insulation. Each type is tailored to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and increase comfort throughout the year.

3. What are the benefits of installing a mechanical ventilation or HVR system?

Mechanical ventilation, including HVR (Heat Recovery Ventilation), improves indoor air quality, removes excess moisture, and reduces mould growth. HVR systems also recover heat from outgoing air, helping lower energy bills while maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Mechanical Ventilation and HRV systems are suitable for new build homes.

5. Can insulation upgrades help me qualify for government grants in Ireland?

Yes! Many Irish homeowners are eligible for SEAI grants for home insulation and upgrades. These grants can cover a significant portion of the cost, making energy-efficient improvements more affordable. Visit our "Applying For A Grant" Section for full information.

7. Do you offer solutions for both new builds and retrofitting older homes?

Absolutely. We specialise in insulation and ventilation for both new builds and retrofitting older Irish homes. Our solutions are tailored to each property’s age, construction type, and energy efficiency goals.

2. How can I tell if my home needs attic, cavity, or external wall insulation?

Signs your home may need insulation include high heating bills, cold spots, draughts, or condensation on walls and windows. Our team can carry out a free assessment to recommend the best insulation type for your home.

4. How often should I service or maintain my HVR ventilation system?

We recommend annual servicing by a qualified technician. Filters should be checked and cleaned every 2–4 months, and vents kept clean to ensure your system runs efficiently and continues delivering fresh, filtered air.

6. How long does it take to install insulation or a mechanical ventilation system in a typical Irish home?

Installation times vary depending on the type of upgrade. Attic or cavity wall insulation can often be completed in a day or two, while full HVR system installation may take several days. We provide a detailed schedule before starting work.

8. How can I improve indoor air quality while keeping energy bills low?

A combination of proper insulation, controlled ventilation, and HVR systems ensures fresh, clean air while minimising heat loss. Regular maintenance, clean filters, and professional installation maximise efficiency and comfort, keeping energy costs down for newly constructed homes.
