Better Energy Homes Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how homeowners in Ireland can access grants for home energy upgrades like insulation and heat pumps.

This scheme provides financial assistance to help homeowners reduce their energy use and improve the efficiency of their homes.

Who it's for

This program is specifically for homeowners.

What you get

You can receive grants to help pay for various energy-saving home improvements. This includes upgrades such as installing better insulation or moving to a heat pump system.

What it costs you

You will need to pay for the energy-saving works upfront. The grant is intended to help offset these costs after the work is done.

The catch to know

To ensure you are eligible for the grant, all energy-saving work must be carried out by registered contractors. If you hire someone who is not on the official list of approved professionals, you may not be able to claim the support.

How to apply

  1. Check the official website to see which upgrades you are eligible for.
  2. Find and hire a registered contractor to perform the work.
  3. Complete the necessary energy upgrades in your home.
  4. Follow the official instructions to submit your claim for the grant.
