"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" https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/2023/09/11/grants-and-the-cost-of-home-insulation/
@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?
