Grants

SEI Grants

Sustainable Energy Ireland operate a number of funding programmes for the provision of financial supports for domestic energy efficiency upgrades.

Level of Funding Available:

The levels of grant support available for each technology are as follows…

Attic Insulation €250
Drylining €2,500
External Insulation €4,000
90% efficiency upgrade €500
Solar Panel – Flat Plate/Evacuated Tube €250/300 m2 (to max. of 6m2)
Heating Controls €700
BER Assessment €100


There’s also a €400 euro grant for Cavity Wall Insulation, but we tend to advise our clients against Cavity Wall Insulation where alternatives exist. We don’t provide cavity wall insulation because we are not convinced of its merits or value for money. At EnergySolve we will not provide a product or Service we are not confident in.

Who Can Avail of the Scheme?

The following conditions will apply in the evaluation of grant applications and all conditions must be met in advance of any approval of a grant.

Basically you have to own the home, fill out the form and do it through an SEAI listed installer (We also recommend that the installer be NSAI accredited, like us (hint hint)), but here’s the official list….

  • Applicant must confirm that the dwelling for which they are applying is an existing dwelling, has an existing heating system and has been occupied for a minimum of one year.
  • Applicant must be the homeowner and must have full possession of the property where the system is to be installed.
  • Applicant must fully complete the Greener Homes Application Form with information valid at time of application.
  • Applicant must supply bank account and sort code details to facilitate electronic payment of the grant. (Please note that currently we cannot process EBS and Credit Union accounts).
  • Applicant must agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme (see Section 11 of the Application Guide)
  • Product must be listed, at the date of application, on the Registered Product List (available on request or online at www.sei.ie/greenerhomes )
  • Installer must be listed, at the date of application and on the date of system commissioning, on the Registered Installer List
  • SEI must still have adequate funding available to it pursuant to the relevant phase of the Scheme in order to be able to approve the relevant application

If you want to apply for a grant we will give you our SEAI number for your application and we’ll assist you through the process. Call us on 05793 22792 or email info@energysolve.ie

Before applying, applicants are advised to read the Scheme Application Guide and relevant support documentation.

Once a completed application form has been received it will be evaluated by SEI against the above Approval Criteria.  If approved, a Letter of Offer will be issued to the applicant. The offer will only be validated upon the applicant indicating the applicant’s acceptance of offer by returning a signed copy of the Letter of Offer to SEI, which must be received within 30 days of date of issue.

The grant offer remains valid for 12 months from the date of issue of the Letter of Offer. The offer will automatically lapse after this date.

Greener Homes Scheme Grant Payment Procedure

Upon completion of the installation, and payment having been made in respect of the supply and installation of the equipment, the applicant must make a formal request to SEI for payment comprising the following:

  1. Completed Request for Payment Form
  2. Invoice and receipt of payment to installer separately detailing full cost of equipment and installation* (in instances where the total amount paid is less than the grant approved then the lesser amount will be paid)
  3. Completed Standard Commissioning Report signed by the installer (downloadable here, see below)

*Note: If equipment was purchased separately, please provide separate invoices and receipts for payment of full equipment cost and installation charges.

Once all documentation is in order, and a satisfactory inspection completed (see Section 10), the grant will be paid electronically to the applicant’s bank account and an accompanying letter notifying payment will be sent to the applicant.While, SEI will endeavour to minimise the period, applicants should allow an 8 to 10 week period for this process to be completed.
