One Stop Shop services for homes
A complete home energy upgrade solution for homeowners. Find out how One Stop Shops work and what services they offer.
Check your eligibility
Before you start, check that your home or property is eligible. The One Stop Shop service is available to homeowners, private landlords and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) whose property or home meets these criteria:
- The property or home was built and occupied before 2011
- It 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
Please note that SEAI’s One Stop Shop grants are only available through the list of registered One Stop Shop providers.
Why use a One Stop Shop
One Stop Shops offer homeowners all the services required for a complete home energy upgrade. These registered private operators will manage the entire process for you, from the initial assessment of your home, through to the final BER.
- Fully managed solution
- Wider range of grants
- Grant values deducted from the cost of works upfront
- Less disruption
-
Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme available
How to apply to the One Stop Shop service
Before proceeding, please ensure this is the right scheme for you. You must be looking to make substantial energy upgrades to your home and achieve a Building Energy Rating of at least a 'B2' at the completion of works. In most circumstances, you may need to install multiple measures to meet this requirement. Upon contact, the One Stop Shop will ask you some basic questions for a preliminary assessment to determine if your home is suitable for an energy upgrade and what supports are available.
If this is not for you, please see your options for individual energy upgrades.

One Stop Shop for AHBsTraditional Buildings
For homes constructed before 1940, you may wish to consult a conservation building professional, specifier or installer for advice, ref. Table 3 in the document at the link below. These dwellings may require special consideration and modern insulation methods may not be appropriate. Alternative insulation methods should be discussed carefully with your contractor as they may not qualify for grant support. The Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings document provides useful guidance on the insulation of older homes.
