Energy-Efficient Solutions for Older Homes: Where to Start
Older homes in Ireland are full of charm but often lag behind when it comes to modern energy efficiency. Cold floors, drafts, aging heating systems, and damp issues all contribute to higher bills and lower comfort. The good news is that these problems are fixable—starting with a proper assessment. Make your home energy-efficient.
DryZone serves homeowners throughout Limerick, Shannon, Ennis, and nearby areas, offering practical solutions to make older homes warmer and more efficient.
- Inspection and Condition Assessment
The first step is understanding where your home is losing heat and where improvements can be made. DryZone provides professional inspections of heating and plumbing systems, as well as thorough checks for dampness, mold, and moisture—essential for identifying the root causes of inefficiency.

- Heating System Upgrades
Outdated oil boilers and ineffective radiators are still common in older properties. DryZone can help by:
- Installing or replacing oil boilers and hot water cylinders
- Converting to thermostatically controlled systems
- Setting up zoned heating and replacing old system components
These improvements reduce energy waste and keep your home consistently warm, significantly increasing its energy efficiency.
- Damp and Mold Treatment
Moisture problems often appear in basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.
- Identifying and treating excess condensation and damp
- Conducting waterproofing work
- Installing effective ventilation solutions for high-humidity spaces
