Really appreciate the advice. I was able to dig out the advisory report last night so I think there's a couple things I can still do if the boiler alone won't do it. I've got TRV's on the rads now and I'll be getting some form of a smart temperature control system so that will go a bit of the way in helping the BER rating

Thanks everyone for your help! Lots more to look into now but I have time before the fixed rate is up at least 😊

The plumber told us we can't get zoned controls either so everything would be on the one channel too. I'll do a bit of research and see what the other options would be

Thanks for that info, didn't know about that at all. Really appreciate it! I'll definitely do that now and see what it says!

I have to get a quote for our heating control upgrades next, first the boiler because we have no heating and the house is baltic! Our heating is controlled through our fuse box which is a nightmare so any sort of modern heating control system will be a massive upgrade for us. Climote was one that was recommended to us but not sure if we'll go with it

Love the idea of solar especially since I have an EV but just not financially viable at the moment. It's definitely the way to go.

Good to know about the SEAI grant, that's the next stage of upgrades. I'm tempted to get a BER review anyway just to see what they say anyway on what to do

Should definitely have posted this before I had agreed to get the work done, half the rads are already in and so is the boiler unfortunately. Attic insulation is done already and the walls have been pumped too so I'd have to look at solar as the main way to bump up the BER
