The grants are yours. Here is all of them.
Every euro the State will put toward your home, in one honest page: the current SEAI amounts by house type, the local-authority grants most people never hear about, and the rules that decide what you qualify for.
SEAI energy grants
Fixed amounts, set by measure and home type. These are the current figures, updated by SEAI on 3 February 2026.
| Insulation measure | Apartment | Mid-terrace | Semi / end-terrace | Detached |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attic insulation | €1,100 · €1,400 on welfare | €1,400 · €1,800 on welfare | €1,500 · €1,900 on welfare | €2,000 · €2,500 on welfare |
| Cavity wall | €700 · €900 on welfare | €850 · €1,100 on welfare | €1,300 · €1,700 on welfare | €1,800 · €2,300 on welfare |
| Internal (dry-lining) wall | €1,500 | €2,000 | €3,500 | €4,500 |
| External wall (the wrap) | €3,000 | €3,500 | €6,000 | €8,000 |
Homes built and occupied before 2011. First-time buyers get the higher attic amounts too. External wall insulation must cover the whole surface, not one or two walls.
€9,500 for apartments · air-to-air systems €7,500. The bundle stacks three grants:
- €6,500 the heat pump unit
- €2,000 radiators or pipework, where needed
- €4,000 Renewable Heat Bonus for replacing an oil, gas, solid-fuel or electric system
Homes built before 2021. A €200 technical assessment applies to pre-2007 homes without a valid low heat-loss BER. Insulate first: a leaky home wastes a good pump.
- New windowsup to €4,000
- External doorsup to €1,600
- Solar PVup to €1,800
- Heating controlsup to €700
Windows and doors depend on the number and size installed. Solar PV is paid pro rata by system size.

The assessment
We walk the house and tell you which grants your home actually qualifies for, SEAI and council alike.
The paperwork
Forms, documents, trade reports and follow-up. You sign, we chase. Approval always comes before any work starts.
The works
Installed to standard by the crews on our upgrades page, tidy and documented, with the grant already on your quote.
BER & payment
The post-works BER confirms the improvement and releases the grant. You keep the record for resale someday.
Grant questions, answered straight
Do I have to pay an SEAI grant back?
No. SEAI grants are not loans and never need to be repaid. With individual grants you are paid after the works and the post-works BER are complete; through a One Stop Shop the grant is deducted from your invoice, so you only pay the balance.
How much can I get for insulation?
It depends on the measure and your home type. Attic insulation ranges from €1,100 (apartment) to €2,000 (detached). Cavity wall runs from €700 to €1,800, internal wall from €1,500 to €4,500, and external wall from €3,000 to €8,000. Higher fixed amounts apply for attic and cavity if you are a first-time buyer or on a qualifying welfare payment.
How much is the heat pump grant?
Up to €12,500 for most house types (€9,500 for apartments). It bundles €6,500 for the heat pump unit, up to €2,000 for radiator or pipework upgrades, and a €4,000 Renewable Heat Bonus for replacing an oil, gas, solid-fuel or electric storage system.
Who qualifies for SEAI insulation grants?
The home must have been built and occupied before 2011 (before 2021 for heat pumps), have an MPRN, and the works must be done by an SEAI-registered contractor. Grant approval must be in place before any work starts, and a BER assessment is completed after the works.
What if I am on a welfare payment?
Higher fixed grants apply for attic and cavity wall insulation, and you may qualify for the Warmer Homes Scheme, where eligible upgrades are fully funded. We check this for you before anything else.
Are there grants for older people or for a disability?
Yes. The local-authority grants cover exactly that: Housing Aid for Older People up to €10,700, the Mobility Aids Grant up to €8,000, and the Housing Adaptation Grant up to €40,000. The Croí Cónaithe grant gives up to €70,000 for vacant or derelict properties. We handle those applications free of charge.
Who does the paperwork?
We do, at no cost. Forms, documents, trade reports and follow-up, for both SEAI grants and the local-authority grants. You see the grant already deducted on your quote, and we tell you plainly if something does not qualify.
Not sure what you qualify for?
That is the first thing we check, before any quote and at no cost. Ask us anything about grants; straight answers either way.
