The easy way to explore your home energy upgrade options, whether you're planning a full retrofit or a few energy-efficient improvements.

Get personalised upgrade packages, understand potential savings, and see how we can support you with finance to realise your plans. And with the right energy upgrades, your home could qualify for our lower fixed rate Green Mortgage, if you reach a BER (Building Energy Rating) of A1 to B3 (inclusive), helping you work towards a warmer, more energy efficient home. 

 

Start planning with our Home Upgrade Tool

To support you in taking the first steps to upgrading your home’s energy efficiency, we’ve created our Home Upgrade Tool in partnership with Prime19 so you can:

  • Explore tailored upgrade packages based on your home and budget.
  • See your potential BER (Building Energy Rating) improvement.
  • Estimate energy savings and breakeven periods.
  • Compare indicative costs, potential grant savings, and upgrade options.
  • Understand the difference between One Stop Shop and Individual Measure approaches.

You can also get a personalised Home Upgrade Report with a clear overview of your home’s energy performance and potential upgrades.

 

Using our Home Upgrade Tool

What to expect when using our tool to plan your home energy upgrades.

Step 1

Review and agree to terms and conditions required for using the tool.

Step 2

There are three options to choose from to help identify your home based on some of your home’s details including:

  • Your Eircode: Because the guidance based off this option will be less accurate, you’ll need to share more information about your home.
  • Your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN): An 11 digit number starting with '10' that can be found on your gas and electricity bills.
  • Building Energy Rating (BER) number: A 9 digit number printed on your BER/DEC Certificate.

Step 3

Let us know the scale of your energy upgrade budget so we can tailor our suggestions to fit your financial plan.

Step 4

This tool will output three different package options including

  • A Premium Package: With upgrades designed to get the home to a BER A.
  • A Green Package: With upgrades designed to get the home to a BER B for Green Mortgage eligibility.
  • A Basic Package: For individual measures to gradually increase your energy efficiency.

Step 5

Consider your next steps; sign up for email updates from us, receive your Home Upgrade Report or request a call from a PTSB team member on the financial options available to help you realise your upgrades.
