About this grant
The Warmer Homes Scheme, presented on the SEAI site as "Fully funded energy upgrades for eligible homeowners", provides free home energy upgrades to homeowners who receive certain social welfare payments. The scheme aims to improve the warmth and energy efficiency of eligible homes. An SEAI-registered contractor assesses each home and recommends upgrades suited to the property's age, size, existing heating system and overall condition. The most commonly completed upgrades are attic and wall insulation. Some homes may not qualify, and eligibility does not guarantee that every upgrade type can be installed; works depend on the home survey findings. Full scheme details and application are available through linked pages on the SEAI website.
