I live in a 1988 4 bed dormer bungalow with 2 of the largest bedrooms upstairs one with studded partition and the master bedroom upstairs the walls of which are blocks sitting on RSJ’s.
2 inch insulation whiteboard in cavities with teak double glazed windows and doors.
I had an air test done which registered as high 10.245.
Looked at dry lining option but it would involve a lot of disruption.
I am also looking at Electric Ireland retrofit including dry lining floor insulation , heat pump , ventilation, Some of my internal ceilings are tongued and grooved timbers which account for air leakage.
The front of my house is all done in dressed Leitrim stone sandstone.
Would have considered external insulation but do not want to part with my precious sandstone.
We are a couple in our early 60’s with 3 adult children living away from home.
My question (our house is approx 2000 sq.feet) is it worth it to consider retrofit. Would the cost involved add a similar value to the house? Given our ages do you think it would be worth it. We have an adjacent 1 bed apartment that we could move to during retrofit or dry lining. I have not checked with estate agents if a similar house with various BER ratings are reflected in the prices being asked for them?
