SEAI Grants

These are for homeowners who want to make their homes warmer, more energy-efficient, and cheaper to run.

You can apply for a grant for one or more energy upgrades. These include:
 

• Attic insulation €800 – €1,500

• Wall insulation
  Cavity €700 - €1,500 
  Internal (Dry Lining) €1,500 - €4,500
  External €3,000 - €8,000

• Heat pumps €4,500 - €6,500

• Solar panels Up to €1,800

• Heating controls Up to €700
   

 You arrange the work yourself and claim the grant afterward or alternatively GFI can arrange the works and claim the grants on your behalf, so you don’t have to manage the paperwork or coordination yourself. This makes the process much easier and quicker for homeowners.

This is ideal for people who want to upgrade their home all at once. An SEAI-registered One Stop Shop manages everything:
 

• Full home energy upgrade plan

• Grants applied on your behalf

• Project management

• Finance options (if needed)
   

Grants cover a large part of the cost, depending on the upgrades:
 

• Attic insulation up to €1,500

• Wall insulation up to €8,000

• Heat pump system up to €6,500

• Solar PV panels up to €2,100

• Heating controls upgrade up to €700

• Ventilation upgrades approx. €1,500

• Windows and doors up to €4,000 (where applicable)

• Project management grant of up to €2,000
   

All works must be completed by an SEAI-approved One Stop Shop, and homes must reach a minimum BER of B2 after the upgrades. All works must be completed within 12 months.

SEAI offers grants of up to €5,000 for the purchase of new electric cars, plus supports for home EV chargers.
