WHY APPLY FOR A GRANT?
SEAI estimates 1.7 million homes in Ireland could be eligible for the increased and additional grants, which will help make houses “more energy-efficient, cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in”. The latest figures show the average homeowner spends €1,850 a year heating their homes. Properly insulating the walls of the average home can save up to €600 per year on heating bills, according to the SEAI.
WHO CAN APPLY?
All homeowners, including landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2011 can apply
BEFORE YOU APPLY
Part L of the Building Regulations require that after any alteration to a minimum of 25% of your home’s surface area, either:
- your home achieves a minimum B2 BER rating
- your heating system and attic insulation comply with the Building Regulation standards
If you are applying for an SEAI grant for External or Internal Wall Insulation you are required to comply with these Building Regulations as a condition of your grant payment.
Planning Considerations
In some cases external insulation may require planning permission. For example with protected structures, in architectural conservation areas or where the works result in an alteration to the front profile of the property. Please check with your registered contractor or local planning authority.
Planning permission is not required for internal or cavity insulation.
TIMEFRAME
You must complete the works and submit the paperwork within 8 months from the date of the grant offer. You can find the expiry date in your offer letter.

Customer Testimonials
“The company were extremely professional throughout the works. I found them to be very accommodating, efficient and pleasure to work with. I can’t believe how warm my home has become since getting the external wall insulation, heating, attic insulation and windows installed. Thanks Damien.“
“I went from solid fuel heating to a new gas heating system thermostatically controlled along with external wall insulation. So much money and energy being saved as I hardly ever have to turn on the boiler other than to heat the water. Damien’s team were so tidy and all works were completed in no time at all.”
