SEAI GRANTS

The Better Energy Homes Scheme  is a Government programme that provides fixed cash grants to assist homeowners to upgrade their home heating system. Upgrading your heating and controls to a more efficient system, along with improving the insulation will ensure that your home is warmer, and your bills reduced.

You can get an extra €300 if you do three of the measures listed below and extra cash bonus if you get a fourth. If you have previously availed of the grants before, don’t worry, you can apply again if you get additional work done.

Better Energy Homes Grants Energy Efficient Improvements

  • Attic insulation
  • Cavity wall insulation
  • Internal dry lining wall insulation
  • Heating controls upgrade
  • Boiler upgrade
  • Solar heating

To be Eligible for the Better Energy Homes Scheme you must:

  • Be a homeowner
  • Live in a home that was built before 2006
  • Use a scheme­ registered contractor

Save Money

Installing an energy efficient boiler in your home can save you up to 30% on your home heating bills. Lots of heat – or potential heat – is lost through inefficient appliances and poorly insulated walls and attics. You may not think these measures would make much difference to your energy bills, but you would be very surprised!

Energy Efficient

Also, older boilers are often less efficient than newer condensing gas boilers. ACR Plumbing and Heating can replace your old boiler – and your old heating controls – with newer more efficient models.

When your boiler is operating below par you are wasting energy and money. If you replace your old boiler with an a-rated energy-efficient boiler you will make sizeable savings on your energy bills.

Helping the Environment

Ensuring your home is energy efficient is your contribution to safeguarding our environment. Although gas central heating is in general, cleaner and  than other methods of heating your home reducing its impacts on the planet.
