My Background & Expertise
I am Aiden Bohannon, bringing a unique combination of technical expertise and practical experience to home energy advice in Ireland:
- BER Assessment Expertise: Experienced SEAI BER Assessor with over 300 completed assessments.
- Construction Experience: Background as a construction manager with Bohannon Construction, providing practical understanding of building techniques and retrofit challenges.
- Home Energy Practitioner: Personal experience with solar PV, hybrid inverters, battery storage, electricity tariffs, and EV charging gives me real-world insight into the questions homeowners actually ask.
- Commercial Orientation: Focused on building a credible advisory business rather than operating as a low-cost BER assessor or equipment salesperson.
My Approach: Independent Advisory
The strongest positioning for my service is as an independent adviser who helps homeowners decide what energy improvements to make, in what order, how to fund them, and how to get the best value from the resulting energy system. This independence is crucial:
- Not tied to any particular installer, electricity supplier, or equipment manufacturer
- Recommendations based solely on your circumstances, not sales commissions
- Ability to compare options objectively and recommend the best sequence of improvements
- Focus on long-term value and satisfaction rather than quick sales
What I Offer Homeowners
My services are designed to help you navigate the complex decisions around home energy improvements:
- Understanding your home's current energy performance through BER assessment
- Identifying priority improvements based on cost, comfort, and energy savings
- Guiding you through available SEAI grants and application processes
- Advising on electricity tariffs to optimise costs with your usage patterns
- Providing balanced advice on solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging
- Helping you plan retrofit sequencing for maximum benefit
- Offering investment appraisal tools to compare costs, savings, and payback periods
Service Area
Based in Clare, I primarily serve the Munster area but can provide advisory work remotely where a physical assessment is not required.
