Which home-energy grant route should you check?

Choose your project. Get the right official source and a checklist before committing to work.

This is grant guidance, not an eligibility decision or an application to SEAI. Use SEAI’s own eligibility check and grant offer. Do not start grant-aided work before approval.

One upgrade or the whole house?

You can manage individual upgrades using contractors registered for the measures, or consider a registered One Stop Shop for a coordinated project. Compare gross cost, the grant actually approved, payment timing and exclusions. Never add maxima from different routes and call the result your entitlement.

Irish home-energy grants by upgrade

Use these starting points to check the current official conditions. Grant maxima are not an award or a quote; do not add funding from incompatible routes.

Solar panels & batteries

SEAI lists homes built and occupied before 2025, an MPRN and no previous solar PV funding at that MPRN. Standard PV support is capped at €1,800; an eligible battery of at least 5kWh has separate €600 support. Enhanced support has separate welfare-payment rules.

Select the PV and/or battery measure before work starts; ask the registered company to confirm the complete installed specification.

Heat pumps

SEAI lists homes built and occupied before 2021. Heat-pump support combines qualifying components; the headline house bundle can be up to €14,500, with different apartment and replacement-system limits. Heat-loss and technical-assessment requirements must be checked.

Price the heating design, emitters and insulation prerequisites separately. Confirm which grant components actually apply.

Attic & wall insulation

For the attic route, SEAI lists homes built and occupied before 2011. Standard attic support varies by dwelling from €1,100 to €2,000. Eligible first-time buyers and welfare recipients can receive higher support. Wall insulation has separate rules and grants.

Choose attic, cavity, internal or external wall work after checking moisture, ventilation and construction. Do not reuse an attic grant figure for wall work.

Full home retrofit

For a managed multiple-upgrade route, use a registered One Stop Shop and confirm the required target BER, approved scope and funding. Grants can be deducted upfront through that route; staged individual-measure grants are a different option.

Get an assessment and an itemised whole-home plan. The named provider on your contract must match the actual grant route. Homeology’s exact contracting route remains to be confirmed.
