Donegal has a large number of one-off rural houses and holiday homes, and many rely on oil heating and older insulation standards, so BER ratings in the D to G range are common across the county. Exposed coastal locations in Inishowen, Dunfanaghy and Bundoran add to heat loss. The upside is that Donegal homes often have plenty of room for improvement: insulation, airtightness measures and heat pumps can raise a rating by several bands, lower running costs and help a property qualify for green mortgage rates at B3 or above.
