This 1960s three-bedroom bungalow in Wicklow was poorly insulated, with single-glazed windows and an outdated heating system. The homeowners were spending over €2,500 annually on heating yet still struggled to keep the home warm.
Our Solution:
- External wall insulation (100mm EPS system)
- Attic insulation upgrade to 300mm
- Replacement of all windows with triple-glazed units
- Installation of mechanical ventilation system
- Air sealing throughout the property
Results:
The retrofit transformed the property from a cold, drafty home to a warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient living space. The homeowners now save approximately €1,500 annually on heating costs, and the home maintains a comfortable temperature year-round.
"We can't believe the difference in our home. It's warmer, quieter, and our energy bills have plummeted. The Tekton team was professional from start to finish, and they handled all the grant paperwork for us."
— John & Mary Murphy, Homeowners
