FXSTD – Alternative Energy Center

How do you know whether or not you are maximising your energy savings through house insulation?

And what's more, does the insulation you're using meet and pass building regulations? When you consider the fact that over 70% of properties in Ireland are either lacking in insulation or inadequately insulated you'll see why it makes sense to consider retrofitting.

Retrofitting means applying new insulation technology (foam, spray foam, blown in, foam board) to older systems so as to improve energy efficiency and save you money.

?75% of costly heat escapes through walls and attics that are either poorly insulated or have no insulation!
