The Home Energy Saving (HES) scheme provides grants to homeowners who are interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home in order to reduce energy use and costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The scheme is open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006. Sustainable Energy Ireland administers the scheme.
Underfloor Heating
With an underfloor heating system your floor is like a giant radiator that warms up the rooms in your home or building. Underfloor heating pipes (containing water) are powered by oil or gas boilers transferring warmth directly to your flooring. The radiant heat reduces less heat loss making underfloor heating more cost-effective and efficient.
The even feeling of comfort from radiant floor heating is the most common reason why people choose this form of heating over others. It just makes sense to have the heat coming from the floor, where it is most needed, giving you a warm body and cool head rather than the stuffy heat provided by radiators or other forms of convected or warm air heating.
Warmth from the floor radiates evenly and gently upwards for ideal comfort, even in rooms with high ceilings. Compare this with radiators, which create convection currents drawing cold air across your feet and sending warm air up to the ceiling..
