Better Energy Homes Scheme
The Better Home Energy Scheme provides grant funding to homeowners who are interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home in order to reduce energy use, costs and carbon emissions. It is a national scheme and is thus open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006. The scheme is administered by Sustainable Energy Ireland and its agents. www.seai.ie
Assistance will be provided by the payment of fixed grants towards the costs of implementing home improvement measures such as external wall insulation. There is also a grant for households who choose to get a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment Before and After the works are completed.
