BER Cert Tallaght & Dublin 24

BER Assessments in Tallaght

Tallaght is Dublin's largest suburb with over 80,000 residents and one of the most varied housing stocks in the city. The area ranges from 1970s and 1980s council-built estates in the original new-town zones to modern apartment complexes around The Square and Belgard. Firhouse and Templeogue, on the northern edge, have popular 1980s–90s family estates. Citywest and Saggart to the west feature newer developments built to higher energy standards. Most older homes have cavity block walls, many without cavity-fill insulation, and original single-glazed windows, typically producing BER ratings in the D to F range. Newer developments around Citywest tend to achieve B ratings or better.

BER Tips for Tallaght Homeowners

If you live in one of Tallaght's older estates built during the 1970s–80s expansion, your home almost certainly has unfilled cavity walls. Getting cavity wall insulation pumped in is one of the cheapest and most effective upgrades, it can improve your BER by two full grades and qualifies for an SEAI grant. Many homes in the Kilnamanagh and Jobstown areas also have shallow attic insulation that can be topped up to 300mm for a significant improvement. Firhouse and Templeogue homes from the late 1980s often have the original non-condensing boiler, replacing it is another easy win.
