Insulation & Heat control grants are available for homes built and occupied prior to 2006, this is defined by the date your electricity metre was installed. Grants for Heat Pumps and Solar water heating are available to homes built and occupied prior to 2011. For Electrical Vehicle grants, the applicant must be the owner of an eligible new or second hand electric vehicle.
Before any works can begin within your home it is first necessary to obtain grant approval from the SEAI. This can be applied for online or by post. It is critical that permission is obtained prior to commencement of any energy upgrade works as this will result in your property becoming ineligible for the grant.
In the case of a heat pump upgrade it is necessary to employ an SEAI registered technical advisor. Next, it is time to choose an SEAI registered contractor. At this point you can apply online or by post. If you have applied online you will receive a grant offer immediately, if by post your offer will take up to 5 working days. The offer must be accepted within 30 days to avoid having to re-apply.
From acceptance of the grant offer, you will have 8 months to complete the required works and submit the relevant paperwork, a BER cert will be required on completion of these works and must also be completed by a registered assessor.
Finally, get paid. In order to receive payment of the grant a declaration of works form must be completed, one form for each upgrade being applied for. This form will be completed by the home owner, technical assessor and BER assessor after all works have been completed. This will be submitted to SEAI along with a request for payment form, there is generally a 4 week waiting period until the grant is received.
