FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions 

I want a deep retrofit but I don't know where to start?

The first step toward a deep retrofit is to have book a home energy assessment. 

A home energy assessment will explore every nook and cranny of your home and provide you with a comprehensive, tailored analysis of your home. The report will provide you with an insight into the suite of work most suitable for your home, and highlight the impact which this work will have on your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.

A home energy assessment will provide you with:

-Simple BER Certification
-Technical Dwelling Report
-Simplified Technical BER
-Technical Assessment for Heat Pumps (HLI)
-Quotation for completion of works

A Home Energy Assessment is required by the SEAI for all deep retrofit grant applications. The report is the property of the homeowner, and is the first step for anyone considering significant energy upgrades to their home.

Who can use the Grant Access Scheme

The One Stop Shop service is available to homeowners and private landlords whose property or home meets these criteria:

  • Was built and occupied before 2011 for insulation and heating controls
  • Was built and occupied before 2011 for renewable systems grants
  • Has an existing BER of B3 or lower and must achieve a minimum rating of B2 on work completion, with a 100kWh/m2/year or better improvement on the BER primary energy value
  • Has not previously received grants for the same home energy upgrades
How do I claim my grants?

If you are approved by the SEAI for grant funding as part of this scheme, you will immediately be discounted this amount from the overall project cost. You will not have to wait until the project is complete to avail of this funding.

How much will my project cost?

It is impossible to generate a quote for a deep retrofit prior to having a home energy assessment. This is because every home is unique. 

To get an idea of what a deep retrofit may cost you, we recccomend using our online cost calculator here:
