Insulation & Energy Efficiency in Central Portugal

Many older homes in Central Portugal are poorly insulated — hot in summer and cold in winter. Good insulation dramatically reduces energy costs and significantly improves comfort. GerardusKoetje advises on insulation options and coordinates installation by specialist tradespeople. Floor insulation, roof insulation, external wall insulation, and damp proofing are the four pillars of an energy-efficient Portuguese home. The priority order depends on the building physics of your property. We assess this during a property inspection and provide a prioritised list with costs and payback periods. Portugal has subsidies available for energy-saving measures in homes under the ECO.AP programme and via EU funds. Conditions change regularly, but we keep you informed and help you apply for the right grants for your project.
