Complete Home Deep Retrofits
Improve your home's energy efficiency, reduce heating costs and access available SEAI grants through a fully managed retrofit.
What is a Deep Retrofit?
A deep retrofit is a comprehensive upgrade of your home designed to significantly improve its energy efficiency, comfort and overall performance. Rather than focusing on one improvement, a deep retrofit takes a whole-home approach, combining measures such as insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy technologies.
By upgrading the key areas where your home loses or uses energy, a deep retrofit can help reduce heat loss, lower energy consumption and create a warmer, healthier and more comfortable home. We manage the process from assessment and planning through to the installation of the energy upgrades, helping you make the most of available SEAI grant support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a deep retrofit improve my home?
The results depend on the age, construction and existing condition of your home, as well as the measures carried out. A well-designed deep retrofit can substantially reduce energy use, improve indoor comfort and help create a warmer, healthier home.
How much does a deep retrofit cost?
The cost varies considerably depending on the size and condition of the property and the work required. A professional assessment can identify the most appropriate measures and provide a clearer picture of the likely investment, running-cost savings and available supports.
Are there grants available for deep retrofits?
Yes. There are government supports available for certain energy-efficiency and renewable-energy upgrades. Eligibility and grant levels can vary depending on the property and works involved, so it is important to check the current requirements before starting your project.
How long does a deep retrofit take?
Every project is different. The timeline depends on the scope of works, property size, planning requirements and availability of contractors and materials. Once the project has been assessed and designed, you should receive a clearer programme for the work.
Will I need to move out during a deep retrofit?
Not necessarily. Some projects can be completed while the home is occupied, while larger or more disruptive works may make temporary accommodation preferable. Your retrofit plan should identify any periods where access or temporary relocation may be required.
Is a deep retrofit worth it for my home?
A deep retrofit can be a worthwhile investment if you want to reduce energy use, improve comfort and make your home more efficient for the long term. Upgrading insulation, airtightness, windows, heating and ventilation can help create a warmer, healthier and more comfortable home while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The potential savings and benefits will depend on your property, its current condition and the retrofit measures recommended. A professional assessment can help you understand what improvements will deliver the greatest benefit for your home.
