There is also a grant for households who choose to get a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment Before and After the works are completed.
Who
The Home Energy Saving (HES) scheme provides grants to homeowners who are interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home in order to reduce energy use and costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The scheme is open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006. Sustainable Energy Ireland administers the scheme.
Landlords and owners of multiple properties may also apply, however they must submit a separate application form for each property. If you are a landlord or a management company considering an entire building upgrade, please contact SEI before applying online for the grant.
Grants
Sustainable Energy Ireland are currently offering a range of grants under the Home Energy Saving (HES).
Assistance will be provided by way of fixed grants towards the costs of implementing upgrade measures. The types of measures currently eligible under this scheme are roof insulation, wall insulation, high efficiency boilers and heating control upgrades. A BER assessment is now required after works are carried in order to claim grant funding.
