Improving your home’s energy efficiency doesn’t have to be complicated. At House2Home, we’ve designed a straightforward process that takes you from your first enquiry right through to a completed home energy upgrade.
Whether you’re looking to reduce your energy bills, improve comfort, increase your BER rating, or take advantage of SEAI grants, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Step 1: Get an Instant Estimate with Our Retrofit Cost Calculator
The first step is to use our free Retrofit Cost Calculator.

The calculator takes just a few minutes to complete and gives you an estimated project cost based on your home and the upgrades you’re considering.
You’ll be asked to enter information such as:
- Your property’s age
- House type (Detached, Semi-Detached, Terrace, Apartment, etc.)
- Number of storeys
- Current BER rating (if known)
- The energy upgrades you’re interested in
- Your project budget
- When you’re hoping to start your project
Once completed, you’ll receive an estimate showing:
- Recommended energy upgrades
- Estimated project cost
- Available SEAI grants
- Additional supports (where applicable)
- Estimated cost after grants
This gives you an excellent starting point before committing to the next stage.
Step 2: Book a Home Energy Assessment or Speak with a Home Energy Consultant
Once you’ve received your estimate, it’s time to decide your next step.
You can either:
- Book a Home Energy Assessment (HEA) if you’re ready to begin your retrofit journey.
- Book a free consultation with one of our Home Energy Consultants if you’d like to discuss your options first.

This no-obligation conversation helps you understand what’s involved before moving forward.
Step 3: Your Home Energy Assessment Takes Place
The Home Energy Assessment is one of the most important stages of the process.
The assessment is carried out by an independent BER assessor, who visits your home to examine how it’s currently performing from an energy perspective.
During the assessment, they’ll evaluate areas such as:
- Insulation levels
- Windows and doors
- Heating system
- Ventilation
- Air tightness
- Overall building fabric
Using this information, they’ll produce a detailed report outlining the most effective upgrades for your property and the expected improvement to your BER rating.
This report forms the foundation for your retrofit project.
Step 4: Detailed Pricing and Site Consultation
Once the Home Energy Assessment has been completed, our team reviews the findings and prepares a detailed quotation tailored specifically to your home.
Depending on the scope of works, one of our team may also arrange a phone call or site visit to discuss:
- The recommended upgrade measures
- Any optional improvements
- Project timelines
- Grant eligibility
- The installation process
Because every property is different, this stage ensures your quotation is accurate and reflects the exact work required.
Step 5: Sign the Contract and Begin Your Retrofit
Once you’re happy with the proposal, it’s time to move forward.
After contracts are signed, we’ll:
- Schedule your project
- Organise the required trades
- Coordinate each stage of the installation
- Keep you informed throughout the process
Our experienced project management team ensures everything runs smoothly from start to finish, giving you a single point of contact throughout your retrofit.
Step 6: Project Completion and Quality Assurance Inspection
After all upgrade works have been completed, your project enters its final stage.
A Quality Assurance Inspection is carried out to ensure every aspect of the retrofit has been completed to the required standard and complies with SEAI requirements.
Following successful completion, you’ll receive the relevant documentation, including your updated BER certificate where applicable.
At this point, you’ll begin enjoying the benefits of your upgraded home, including:
- Lower energy bills
- Improved comfort throughout the year
- Better indoor air quality
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Increased property value
- A higher BER rating
