Now, there's the first problem the government has in setting people on the path to #retrofitting, and slashing #Ireland's national energy bill, while making Ireland's people richer: "The first step is to find a Building Energy Rating (Ber) assessor who can do an assessment to the standard of the SEAI’s One Stop Shop service.
There’s a stand-alone grant of €350 for the assessment" - get rid of that fee and you're much closer to action

The #GreenParty are good at getting things done - look at the increase in #solarpanels and #retrofitting, #interconnect with France, etc - but they're terrible at #publicity unlike Fianna Fail and Fine Gael https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-41016002.html

Realised today that our home now produces no #carbonemissions. My wife asked if we need a carbon monoxide alarm and it dawned on us we don't.

I know some of the #energy we use produces it at source, but I'm glad we're contributing as little carbon as we can for now.

#Retrofitting

Lads has anyone gone through the process of #Retrofitting their home with one of the #OneStopShops? Any tips or advice? What kind of price range should I have in mind? Is it cheaper to go it without the One Stop Shop?
I've heard people talk of price gouging.

I have a detached bungalow that needs at a minimum new windows & doors, air to heat pump, rads, new boiler, and internal wall insulation. #MastoDaoine
