Explore the transformative journey of Karl Geraghty’s residence in Dublin 4, where House2Home spearheaded a deep retrofit project. From insulating walls to installing energy-efficient windows, discover how our expert team transformed Karl’s home.
Energy Upgrades
House2Home undertook a comprehensive overhaul of Geraghty’s house, focusing on energy efficiency enhancements. The outdated heating system was replaced with a cutting-edge heat pump and modern central heating, ensuring precise temperature control while minimising energy waste.

Additionally, premium floor insulation materials were employed to combat heat loss, alongside attic and roof insulation measures, significantly reducing heating costs and improving overall comfort levels. Further optimising thermal performance, internal wall insulation was introduced, regulating indoor temperatures and reducing energy consumption between rooms, fostering a consistently comfortable living environment.

This funding encompassed €8,500 towards the installation of a heat pump and central heating system,€3,500 allocated for floor insulation, €2,000 dedicated to wall insulation, and €1,800 designated for the purchase of external windows.
