BER Cert Finglas & Dublin 11

BER Assessments in Finglas

Finglas and Dublin 11 is predominantly a 1950s–70s suburb developed by Dublin Corporation. Finglas East and West feature large estates of two-storey terraced and semi-detached houses built with solid or cavity block walls. Ballymun has been extensively regenerated since the demolition of the iconic tower blocks, the newer housing built as part of the regeneration programme from 2004 onwards meets much higher energy standards. Hampton Wood and Charlestown on the northern edge are modern developments with good energy performance. Older Finglas homes without upgrades commonly rate E to F, reflecting their age and original construction standards.

BER Tips for Finglas Homeowners

Finglas has benefited from several area-based energy upgrade schemes over the years, but many homes still haven't been addressed. If you're in one of the original 1950s–60s Corporation houses, the walls are often solid concrete block, external wall insulation is typically the most effective solution and qualifies for a generous SEAI grant. Ballymun's regeneration-era homes generally have reasonable ratings but if your home was built in the 2004–2008 period, your BER cert may be nearing its 10-year expiry. The older homes around Cardiffsbridge and Mellowes often still have back boilers connected to open fires, upgrading to a modern heating system is one of the most impactful changes you can make.
