Understanding Home Energy Assessment costs
When people search for the cost of a Home Energy Assessment, they are usually not just looking for a price. They are looking for reassurance.
Before booking, homeowners want to know whether the assessment suits their home, what the cost covers and whether location affects the price.
This question comes up often for homeowners in
Dublin and Mayo who are planning upgrades but want clarity before making any decisions.
The short answer is simple.
Your location does not affect the price.
The only factor is your house type.
A Home Energy Assessment explains how your home performs today so you can make informed decisions with confidence. You can learn more about what is included before booking.

Churchfield Home Services, Home Energy Assessments are carried out across Dublin and Mayo, as well as Kildare, Meath, Wicklow, Galway, Sligo and Roscommon.

How your Home Energy Assessment is priced
The cost of your Home Energy Assessment is based on your house type, not where you live.
Different homes take different amounts of time to assess properly. Pricing reflects:
- The size and layout of your home

- Time required on site and to prepare your report

Home Energy Assessment grants explained clearly
To support homeowners in taking a first step, the
SEAI provides a €350 contribution towards the cost of a Home Energy Assessment.
This support is already reflected in the prices shown above.
Eligibility and availability are managed by SEAI and can change over time. The assessment focuses on understanding your home rather than promising upgrades, grants or outcomes. There is no obligation to proceed with any work.
What you receive as part of the assessment
A Home Energy Assessment is more than a visit. The cost covers a complete, structured service focused on clarity.
This includes:
- A visit from a qualified energy advisor
- Assessment of insulation, heating systems, ventilation and heat loss
- Your current BER chart
- A one to one consultation explaining how your home performs
- A clear, easy to understand Home Energy Assessment report
- Practical guidance on what improvements may suit your home
The real value is avoiding guesswork. Instead of spending money on changes that may not deliver results, you start with a proper understanding of how your home actually performs.
Is a Home Energy Assessment worth it for you?
Many homeowners across Dublin, Mayo and surrounding counties find the assessment worthwhile because it provides direction.
Homes feel cold or uncomfortable for different reasons. Without a proper assessment, it is easy to focus on the wrong solution whether that is insulation, heating or ventilation.
Even if you do not make changes straight away, the information remains useful. Many people use their assessment to:
- Plan future improvements
- Understand grant pathways
- Decide what to prioritise or what not to do
What happens next?
A Home Energy Assessment is a starting point, not a sales step.
After the assessment:
- You receive a clear report explaining how your home performs
- You understand where heat is being lost and why
- You decide what happens next in your own time
Some homeowners choose to move forward with upgrades such as insulation or heat pumps. Others pause, plan or simply keep the information for future use.
If you are unsure whether a Home Energy Assessment makes sense for your home, understanding how it is priced and what you receive is the best place to start. It gives clarity first so you can decide your next step with confidence.
