A warmer, more energy?efficient home is now within easier reach for thousands of Irish homeowners thanks to the newly announced windows and doors retrofit grant, offering up to €5,600 in support. For many households, it’s the key improvement that delivers the biggest immediate impact on insulation and heat retention - and often the most practical first step when boosting your home’s overall energy performance.
Under the updated Better Energy Homes Scheme, homeowners can now access grants previously reserved only for deep retrofits. Supports include up to €4,000 for windows in detached homes, €3,000 for semidetached and end?of?terrace properties, €1,800 for mid?terrace homes and €1,500 for apartments and duplexes-along with €800 per door, up to two doors. These upgrades improve insulation, reduce heat loss and are a key step toward preparing a home for an efficient heat pump. For full details on this new grant see www.seai.ie It is anticipated that the grant will then be made available from March 3rd.
