We’ll help you confirm and apply

Basic eligibility checklist
- Your home was built and occupied before 2011
- You own the property (homeowners, landlords, AHBs allowed)
- Your home has not already received the same grant before
- You plan to install SEAI-approved upgrades by a registered contractor
- For full retrofits: your home must reach a post-upgrade BER of B2 or better
Still unsure? Our team can check your eligibility in minutes.
