SEAI Grants Options

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) provides several grant options to enable homeowners to secure funding for implementing energy-efficient home upgrades. While there are several approaches to planning and executing energy upgrades, there are two main grant options for homeowners to consider. (Grant value table at the end of this page) 

The One Stop Shop Grant

The One Stop Shop Grant is aimed at specific house types, particularly homes built before 2011.  It suits homeowners who are ready and who can afford to undertake a considerable number of energy upgrade measures all at once.

As the One Stop Shop involves a suite of works, the process can be disruptive, especially if you are currently living in the house and there is a considerable investment required. However, the One Stop Shop route offers a wider range of grants and offers you the unique opportunity to completely upgrade your home all at once.

It is important to note, there are very clear objectives and specific energy value improvements required by the SEAI to qualify for the One Stop Shop grant, so this option may not suit everyone. For this reason, the SEAI offers individual grant options as described below.

Individual Home Energy Upgrade Grants

If the One Stop Shop option isn’t right for you, or it is not possible to achieve the required energy value improvements in your home, the SEAI also offers grants for individual measures.

These individual upgrade grants are available for measures such as attic insulation, heat pumps, and Solar PV, to mention a few. (read more here)

So you can upgrade your home one measure at a time, to suit your timeframe and your budget. Grant amounts for individual measures can be viewed on the SEAI website.

What are the key differences between the two grant options?

• The One Stop Shop involves doing a number of upgrades all at once, so more work and cost are involved upfront.
  
• The allowances for the One Stop Shop grant are deducted from the cost of work upfront, so the homeowner is funding the net cost. This is not the case with individual grants.
• One Stop Shop service is a fully managed solution. This means we take care of everything for you, including the grant application. This is not the case with individual grants.
• The One Stop Shop service offers a wider range of grants as it includes upgrading windows, external doors, floor insulation, mechanical ventilation, and air tightness. This is not the case with individual grants. (see chart below)
