As part of the energy-efficient renovation of our house, we decided to insulate it and install triple-glazed windows, a heat pump, and solar panels. Our main motivation was not only to save money but also to become energy self-sufficient. Now, when the power goes out, we still have light, and our bills have gone down, which is great!
The renovation process was accompanied by a few complications, such as when the battery became swollen after a month of use. Fortunately, it was under warranty and was replaced very quickly. It was worse with the subsidies for replacing the windows; we waited a very long time for the money to be paid out. We applied for subsidies in 2022, when everyone wanted them, but we didn’t receive the money until a year after the new windows were installed.
To those considering home renovation to improve energy efficiency, I would recommend reading the reviews of companies that provide renovation services. That’s what our friends advised us to do, and thanks to that, we had no problems with the company we chose. On the contrary, the company took care of everything and even helped with the subsidy application. I also recommend planning for a technical room, as the equipment takes up a lot of space.
