What Happens After Your Home Energy Assessment?
Published on 02 February 2026 : Updated 28 January • 4 minute read
When your Home Energy Assessment is finished, you’re not expected to
make a decision straight away. The purpose of the assessment is simple:
to help you understand how your home performs and what options make
sense — before any commitment.
Here’s what happens next, explained clearly.
You receive a detailed Home Energy Assessment report
After your assessment visit, the information collected about your home is reviewed and compiled into a clear, professional Home Energy Assessment report.
Your report explains:
- How your home performs today
- Where heat is being lost
- Your current BER rating
- Which improvements are likely to have the biggest impact
- How different upgrades work together as a whole
This
report is specific to your home — whether you live in Dublin, Mayo,
Galway, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow, Sligo or Roscommon. The process and
level of detail are the same regardless of location.
Receiving your report does not commit you to any work. It is there to give you clarity.
The results are explained in plain English
A Home Energy Assessment is more than a technical document. The findings are explained clearly, so you understand what they actually mean for comfort, energy use and future planning.
This includes:
- Why certain upgrades are recommended
- Which improvements are usually prioritised first
- The typical order upgrades are completed in
- Where certain measures may not be suitable for your home
You can ask questions and take your time. This stage is about understanding — not deciding.
Your SEAI grant options are clarified
Once your home has been assessed, it becomes clearer which SEAI grants may apply to you.
Your Home Energy Assessment helps confirm:
- Whether your home may be suitable for One Stop Shop grants
- Which upgrades may be grant-supported
- How grant values differ between measures
- What conditions must be met before grants can be applied
Grants are explained carefully and accurately. Nothing is guaranteed at this stage — only what is genuinely applicable to your home.
You choose what happens next
After reviewing your report and understanding your options, the next step is entirely up to you.
You may decide to:
- Take no action for now
- Complete a single upgrade
- Plan improvements gradually over time
- Explore a full home energy upgrade
Many
people keep their Home Energy Assessment as a reference and return to
it months or even years later. There is no obligation to proceed.
If you decide to move forward
If you choose to proceed with upgrades, your Home Energy Assessment becomes the foundation for everything that follows.
It helps ensure:
- Work is completed in the correct order
- Your home is treated as a complete system
- SEAI grant rules are followed correctly
- Decisions are based on evidence, not guesswork
If you move forward with Churchfield Home Services, every next step is explained clearly before any work begins — including process, timelines and what to expect.
Why this step matters
The real value of a Home Energy Assessment is confidence.
Instead of wondering what upgrade to do first or worrying about making the wrong choice, you understand:
- What your home actually needs
- What may or may not suit it
- How to plan improvements properly
It allows you to make informed decisions, at your own pace.
Ready when you are
A Home Energy Assessment doesn’t push you into change.
It gives you clarity first — and choice second.
When you’re ready, you’ll know exactly what happens next.
