House2Home Retrofit Ltd is a young and expanding Irish energy-saving company operating from a 10,000 sq. ft. showroom on Dublin’s Killeen Road. The retrofit division of Ardcourt Ltd / Meadowleck Ltd, House2Home can help clients to lower their home energy bills by as much as 60 per cent by offering the latest energy-saving products and solutions.
The company was set up in 2013 by managing director Mark Courtney with the aim of lowering home energy bills and increasing comfort and mobility in homes throughout Ireland. By providing clients who decide to change their home for the better with a complete solution, whether it is home insulation or availing of the Housing Adaptation Grant, House2Home has become one of Ireland’s leading insulation and energy-saving specialists.
“We offer a turnkey service from start to finish,” House2Home general manager Rory Clarke explains.
“Whereas some companies offer one or two processes to improve home energy efficiency, we offer complete packages, which means customers benefit from having one start date, one contract and one company looking after all their needs.
“Plumbing and heating, insulation, new builds, extensions, renovations, repairs and design are all part of the service. We basically supply and fit everything you need to make big savings on your energy costs. The availability of SEAI grants makes the process more affordable.
“We would encourage people to visit our showroom where they can view our products and services. By doing this, they will know exactly what they’re getting if they decide to avail of our services.”
House2Home has grown from employing six staff to 30 in just two years. Rory attributes this growth to the company’s unrivalled expertise and service, hugely competitive prices and increased public awareness of the substantial savings that can be made on their energy bills.
Energy costs are rising, and along with Government grants, House2Home provides guaranteed savings. If you avail of its energy-saving retrofit package, House2Home will guarantee a reduction of up to 60 per cent on your energy costs.
Along with reduced bills, homeowners will have a more comfortable home to live in. For home occupiers who suffer from mobility restrictions, the Government will pay up to 95 per cent of the costs associated with changing homes to improve their lives. House2Home provides a complete design and construct service, and can assist in grant applications and other paperwork associated with the improvements that need to be made.
