Estimates use SEAI band-midpoint energy use for a 100 m² home and blended fuel rates (reviewed 2026-04-16): gas €0.085/kWh, oil €0.09/kWh, electricity €0.32/kWh. Heat-pump homes typically rate A/B, so their low energy use offsets the higher electricity rate. Actual bills vary with usage, tariffs and the property itself.
