Start with what you know.
We take your account of the uncomfortable rooms and use the BER, bills or upgrade records available. If information is missing, we explain how it affects the next assessment.
FENNOR / RETROFITTING OVERVIEW
Less heat escaping.
More home to enjoy.
Cold rooms, draughts or heating that never seems to catch up? Fennor helps homeowners in Meath and Louth plan insulation, fresh air and heating together. Start with the home you have and the comfort you want.
YOUR HOME / YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
The home you love.
A better way to live in it.
Cold rooms, draughts or a bigger change in mind? Fennor starts with the parts of home life you want to improve. We turn those concerns into a brief, explain the assessment needed and use its findings to shape the proposed work.
Keep.
Improve.
Connect.
Improve.
Connect.
Your priorities and budget lead the plan. We separate the improvements that belong together from work that can be phased, explaining what each option changes at home.

change first?
Choose what sounds like your home. It will help you start the conversation with us; it is not a diagnosis or a product recommendation.
YOUR STARTING CONVERSATION
Let’s start with the rooms you avoid.
Fennor uses your account of the cold rooms to identify the right survey. We then explain whether the findings point to heat loss, draughts or heating distribution and how the proposed work responds.
Talk to Fennor about cold roomsUnderstand what is needed.
We explain which investigation answers each concern and bring the findings back to the proposed improvements. A draught, cold surface and damp patch can have different causes; some require specialist assessment.
Agree a connected plan.
Fennor presents the proposed work, its sequence and the responsibilities involved. You see what is included, what remains optional and which specialist appointments are needed before making a decision.

Whole-home retrofit
A whole-home upgrade brings warmth, fresh air and heating into one plan. Fennor helps you see the full picture, choose priorities and understand how the work will fit around your life.
Insulation
Warmer rooms begin with understanding where heat escapes. Fennor helps you choose the next step for your attic, walls or floors, with the building’s condition and your plans in mind.
Windows & doors
Draughty frames, awkward openings or a room that never feels comfortable? Fennor helps you choose windows and doors around how you live, with the fitting and finishing work included in the plan.
Ventilation
Condensation in the morning or a room that always feels stuffy? Fennor starts with what you notice and helps you find the right route to a fresher, more comfortable home.
Retrofit grants
You do not need to choose a grant scheme before you call. Fennor starts with the improvements you want, explains the routes that may apply and helps you understand the steps before work begins.
YOUR HOME, BROUGHT TO LIFE
A better-feeling home.
One joined-up plan.
Look inside an illustrative home to see how the upgrades connect. Fennor explains the assessed options and their effects on your rooms before the work is agreed.

Illustrative arrangement—not a construction or installation drawing. The right measures and ventilation approach depend on your home.
EXPLORE YOUR UPGRADE
A more comfortable home
A warmer home starts with its shell.
The roof, walls and floor form a connected layer around your rooms. Suitable insulation helps retain warmth, but the existing construction and any damp issues need assessment before an upgrade is chosen.
YOUR FENNOR JOURNEY
Fennor turns the assessment findings into insulation options for your home, explaining preparation, repairs and the finishes affected before you choose the work.
YOUR PROJECT WITH FENNOR
Your home, understood.
Your next step, clearer.
We explain the choices, the work involved and what happens next, so you can decide with a clearer picture.
We start with the rooms you live in.
Tell us where the house feels uncomfortable and what you spend on heating. We look at the information you have, identify the assessment needed and help set priorities around your budget.
One plan, even if you work in stages.
We connect insulation, windows, ventilation and heating so an improvement now supports the next one. You receive a clear sequence and an explanation of the specialist design needed at each stage.
You know the next step and the cost.
We explain the proposed work, disruption, individual-grant steps and any items outside the price. Before you decide, we confirm Fennor’s role and any required assessment, specialist or registered-contractor arrangements.

Reviewed · Guidance, not an eligibility decision.
Grant support
Heat-pump system for your home
Up to €14,500
The eligible house maximum includes the system, necessary heating upgrades and qualifying scrappage. It is not a flat payment for every installation.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Heat-pump system — house
- Up to €10,500
- Necessary central-heating upgrades — house
- Up to €2,000
- Qualifying scrappage
- €2,000
- Combined apartment maximum
- Up to €11,500
- Home built and occupied before 2021, with an MPRN. Applies to eligible air-to-water, ground-source, exhaust-air-to-water and water-to-water systems; air-to-air has a different ceiling.
- Scrappage covers qualifying oil, gas, solid-fuel or electric-storage heating replacement; SEAI also includes eligible homes without central heating. The installation design determines each component.
- Grant approval must precede work. Payment cannot exceed eligible cost; a post-works BER and completion documents are required. Existing-heat-pump replacement follows a separate route.
Grant support
Attic insulation
Up to €2,000
Standard grants vary by home type. Certain households can receive the enhanced rate below instead.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Detached
- €2,000
- Semi-detached / end-terrace
- €1,500
- Mid-terrace
- €1,400
- Apartment
- €1,100
- Home built and occupied before 2011; no previous attic grant. The appropriate roof area, ventilation and installation standard must be addressed.
- The apartment rate depends on eligible exposed roof area. This individual grant is for qualifying attic insulation; it does not turn roof or attic-conversion work into grant-funded work.
Grant support
Energy-efficient replacement windows
Up to €4,000
Support depends on your dwelling type, the existing windows and the home’s insulation performance—not just the specification of the new glass.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Detached
- €4,000
- Semi-detached / end-terrace
- €3,000
- Mid-terrace
- €1,800
- Apartment
- €1,500
- Home built and occupied before 2011. Required performance is post-works HLI at or below 2.3, or attic and walls assessed Good or Very Good, alongside scheme window standards.
- You do not necessarily have to replace every window, but the grant is paid once per property. Ventilation and escape requirements still apply.
- For a new project, secure approval before ordering or starting. If work was already ordered or started, ask about SEAI’s specific transitional provisions rather than assuming eligibility.
Grant support
Post-works BER support
€50 standard support
A contribution towards the required post-works BER for applicable individual-grant upgrades. Qualifying welfare applicants may receive €280 instead.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Support is tied to the eligible grant works and required assessment; it is not a general payment for obtaining any BER.
- The enhanced €280 route has separate welfare and application conditions. We explain the assessment cost and which support applies without adding both rates.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Your retrofit with Fennor.
A few useful answers.
Plain language. No pressure to have it all figured out.
01Must I retrofit everything at once?
+
No. We help you prioritise what is useful now and plan for later work. The design still needs to keep insulation, ventilation and future heating changes compatible.
02Will a better BER mean lower bills?
+
A better BER describes improved assessed performance, not a guaranteed bill. We explain expected outcomes using your heating habits and the assumptions about weather, tariffs, comfort and system use.
