SEAI Home Energy Grants
The State's suite of home-energy-upgrade grants, administered by SEAI - covering insulation, heat pumps, solar PV, BER assessments and the bundled One Stop Shop deep-retrofit route.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) funds home-energy-upgrade grants through two routes: individual grants for a single measure (attic or cavity-wall insulation, a heat pump, solar PV, a heat-pump system upgrade, a home energy assessment), and the One Stop Shop route, which bundles several measures into one project and combines the relevant grants into a single upfront deduction. Grant values vary by measure, house type and, for some grants, whether the works are done individually or through a One Stop Shop. A registered contractor or One Stop Shop normally applies for the grant on the homeowner's behalf and deducts it from the invoice.
For solar, heat-pump and insulation installers, the grant amount is very often what decides whether a homeowner proceeds. Knowing the specific grant a given property qualifies for - not just the general scheme - turns a vague enquiry into a costed quote.
PlanningLeads' free Home Energy & Grant Report estimates the SEAI grant a given Irish home qualifies for, both as individual measures and through the bundled One Stop Shop route, alongside its solar potential and BER-uplift economics.

Common questions
It depends on the measure and house type - insulation, heat-pump and solar grants each have their own value, and the amount can differ slightly between the individual-grant route and the bundled One Stop Shop route.
Usually not directly - a registered contractor or One Stop Shop applies to SEAI on your behalf and deducts the grant value from your invoice upfront.
No - the individual grants and the One Stop Shop route are open to any qualifying homeowner. Only the separate Warmer Homes Scheme is means-tested and fully funded.
