Cut Your Utility Bills in Half with These Simple Home Energy Upgrades

Having your home’s energy usage inspected allows you to save around 50% on your bills. Working to make your home energy upgrades saves money and benefits the environment. REIL provides all the help you need to reach these objectives as a homeowner.

1. Better Insulate the Structure and Create Air Tight Barriers

Indoor temperature is kept secure by proper insulation. Good attic, wall and floor insulation can reduce heat loss by a lot and thus save you money on energy. REIL can help by putting insulation in your attic, in cavity walls and by testing your home for leaks, making it easier for your home to keep in heat.

2. Install heat pumps to improve the heating system

Using traditional heating methods is sometimes very inefficient and expensive. Selecting air-to-water heat pumps means your heating is done more efficiently, using the energy in the air around your house. It is REIL’s job to install such systems which decreases heating costs and reduces the amount of carbon emitted.

3. Fit your building with Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panels

Reliance on electricity from the grid goes down when we use solar energy. Solar PV panels make electricity from sunlight which reduces your energy costs. REIL makes solar PV installation available to homeowners, so they can produce clean energy and, if they supply surplus to the grid, earn credit for it.

4. Install new Windows and Doors

When windows and doors are not well sealed or are old, it means more energy can escape. If you use windows with double or triple glazing, heat dissipation is less inside the home. Small renovations with REIL’s high-performance windows and doors bring greater comfort and energy savings.

5. Make use of advanced heating controls

Having smart heating controls makes it possible to maintain the perfect temperature without using the heating system more than necessary. The result of this action is less energy being used and an increase in comfort. REIL has flexible heating control systems that fit your habitation and tendencies.

Utilize Available Grants

REIL supports homeowners by helping them apply for grants from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Because these grants pay for a considerable portion of the costs, home energy upgrades become much more affordable, allowing you to make energy efficient improvements.
