GETTING A HOME energy upgrade can mean many different things, but one thing it means for sure is a wide range of benefits for you and your household.

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is there to help you reap the many upsides that come with improving the energy efficiency of your home. 

Homeowners can significantly increase the comfort of their homes and reduce their energy bills by investing in home energy upgrades. From simple steps like attic and wall insulation to becoming fossil fuel-free with a heat pump, SEAI can help you get there with a range of supports and grants.

Check out the video below to learn more about what home energy upgrades can do for you, and how the SEAI can help you make it happen.

As well as SEAI grants, you can also avail of a Government-backed low-cost loan for Home Energy Upgrades, offered by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI).

Homeowners who upgrade their homes quickly feel the benefits of increased comfort and reduced energy bills. By insulating their attic and walls, they are keeping their heat in and making sure their home is warmer when it’s getting colder outside.

As well as increased comfort and savings, homeowners are also doing their bit for the environment by reducing their carbon footprint with more energy-efficient homes. And as with all home improvements, you are adding value to your home with an improved BER rating.

For homeowners looking to carry out multiple upgrades in one go, they should consider the One Stop Shop service from SEAI. This offers a complete home energy upgrade solution where a One Stop Shop manages their project from start to finish, including the grant application. They will also get the grant value upfront deducted from the cost of works.

For homeowners looking to carry out energy upgrades over time, SEAI offers a range of individual energy upgrade grants, giving greater flexibility to choose the upgrades that suit budgets and requirements.
