The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) issues grants for wall insulation to improve living standards and reduce energy consumption. SEAI insulation grants vary from €400 to €6,000. If you complete multiple home energy upgrades, you could also qualify for an additional €300 - €400 grant.
To qualify for the grant, you must be the owner or landlord of the property. The property must have been built and occupied before 2006, as determined by the electricity metre’s installation date. The grant amount depends on the type of wall insulation work you are planning to undertake, whether it’s an apartment, semi-detached, or detached house, and whether or not you are receiving certain welfare benefits.
As of November 2019, your property will also need to comply with Part L of the 2003 Building Regulations after renovation. This means that your home will either have to achieve a minimum B2 BER rating, or your attic insulation and heating system must comply with Building Regulation standards.
