Bringing your home to this level of efficiency means that your energy bills will be very low for the rest of the building's lifetime, that your home will be extremely comfortable and enjoy steady temperatures and that the air quality within your home will be of a very high level.

A cash grant is now available to assist with the cost of installing a heat pump in your existing home. Please beware that it's of the upmost importantance that your contractor and the proposed heat pump are registered and certified respectively, for grant eligibility.

The Better Energy Warmer Homes scheme (BEWH), administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), funds energy efficiency improvements in the homes of the elderly and vulnerable, making their homes more comfortable, healthier and more cost effective to run. The BEWH has recently received a huge injection of funding, allowing the introduction of deeper retrofit measures such as new windows, external wall insulation, heating system upgrades and mechanical ventilation systems.
The Better Energy Community Scheme is a national retrofit initiative, operated by SEAI, where funding is granted to a wide range of buildings within a community to make them more energy efficient. The aim is to deliver energy savings to homeowners, communities, and private sector organisations as part of an overall application. All projects should be community oriented with a cross-sectoral approach, and it must be shown that the proposed project can be sustainably financed.
Banks and Credit Unions are presently very open to lending money for home improvements which improve energy efficiency. These institutions know that energy efficiency works will reduce the household energy bills, thereby putting the homeowner in a much better position in terms of making loan repayments based on those savings. Many institutions are also offering preferential rates for this speciality finance which makes it even more afforable and well worth consideration.
