Fully funded energy upgrades for eligible homeowners (Warmer Homes Scheme)
Providing free home energy upgrades to homeowners who get certain social welfare payments. These upgrades help improve your home's warmth and energy efficiency.
Upgrades for your home
An SEAI registered contractor will carefully assess your home and will recommend upgrades that are suitable for your property. These will be based on its age, size, existing heating system and overall condition. Works can include:
- Attic insulation
- Wall insulation
Who can apply?
To apply, you must meet all four of the following criteria:
- You own and live in your home and can provide proof of ownership when you apply.
- Your home was built before 2006. We will confirm this as part of the Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment carried out during your application.
- You receive an eligible social welfare payment. We will check your eligibility directly with the Department of Social Protection (DSP), so you do not need to provide proof of your payment unless we contact you for additional information.
- Your home is suitable for energy upgrades following a home survey. The survey identifies which improvements are suitable for your home. Not all homes are suitable for all measures, and the upgrades recommended will depend on the condition and construction of your home.
Please note: Being eligible for the scheme does not guarantee that every type of upgrade can be installed in your home. Any works recommended are based on the findings of the home survey and what is appropriate for your property.
