The Main SEAI Schemes

Our navigator handles the complexity — but here's what you need to know.

Better Energy Homes

Key eligibility

Managed end-to-end service. Provider handles everything. Grant covers up to 50% of costs for achieving B2 BER — best for full-home retrofits.

Key eligibility

Warmer Homes Scheme

Fully Funded

May provide fully funded home energy upgrades for qualifying social welfare recipients — insulation, heating controls, windows — at no cost. SEAI appoints and manages the contractor. Join the waiting list now (18–24+ months).

Key eligibility

Qualifying social welfare payment · BER of D or lower · Built before 2006 · Owner-occupied

Solar PV Scheme

Solar Only

Solar PV grant: up to €1,800 maximum. Exact amount depends on system size and current SEAI rules — always verify on SEAI.ie before applying. Available to all homes including post-2011.

Pre-qualified
Every lead has confirmed home age, BER rating, and upgrade eligibility before you see them
High intent
Users who request installer contact have voluntarily opted in — no cold outreach required
County matched
Leads are matched to contractors by county and upgrade type — no irrelevant enquiries
