"I would need to live in the house for another 87 years before I could justify the initial outlay [on insulation] from a purely financial perspective (although the grant would give me back 33 years). It looks like we’ll be investing in a few Aran jumpers before we go about improving the house’s efficiency" irishtimes.com/opinion/letters

@sinabhfuil The grants really need to be rethought. It’s almost as if they looked for, and found, the worst possible solution.

@sinabhfuil Because a heat pump AND external insulation is expensive I won't do either? 🤔

I paid less than half the quoted figure for external insulation and a 5.6kWhp solar panel system. Didn't pay any up front assessment costs either. Applicable to heat pump grants only?

@sinabhfuil His math assumes energy prices are going to stay the same for the next 88 years but any graph would tell you otherwise
