ATK Building Contractors can survey your home and calculate your insulation requirements. Our assessment will determine the most appropriate type and level of insulation to ensure your house runs as energy efficient as possible. When insulating your home, the objective is to increase the 'U value' of your house. With an increased 'U value', you will achieve a better rating in a BER (Building Energy Rating) assessment. The higher your BER rating, the more energy efficient and comfortable your home will be. New regulations stipulate that if you are selling your home or property, a BER certificate must be provided for the property. A well insulated property will result in a better BER rating. There are a number of government grants available for upgrading and insulating existing dwellings. ATK Building Contractors specialise in the 3 main areas of insulation:
Internal Insulation
External Insulation
Loft/Attic Insulation
Below are a number of insulation tips from Sustainable Energy Ireland.
