How much are the grants?

Grants are fixed for each type of measure as indicated in the table below. Grant approval must be in place before any purchase of materials or commencement of measures undertaken. Grants are paid after the measures are completed and the contractor has been paid by the homeowner. In the instance where the cost of the work (vat inclusive) is less than the fixed grant amount, the actual cost will be reimbursed.

* Please note that while you are entitled to apply for each Measure there is a minimum requirement that the grant amount in the first application must be €500 or greater. The BER grant cannot form part of this €500 amount.

Who can do the work?

In accordance with the scheme's Terms and Conditions, all works must be completed by a contractor from SEI's Registered List, which will be published when the scheme opens for homeowner applications.

If undertaking a BER, these must be completed by a registered BER assessor. If you want a BER carried out please email joe@callaplumber.ie or phone 0872457729 to arrange an appointment with one of our associate assessors. Alternatively use the contact form in the BER section

How do I apply?

The scheme has been launched/announced now in order to allow interested contractors to apply for registration. Once there are sufficient registered contractors available to the scheme, there will be a further announcement regarding householder applications.

So, at the present moment the scheme is not open for applications from homeowners, but you can register your interest by ringing Joe Nerwman on 0872457729 or fill in the register of interest form on this website or email joe@callaplumber.ie

When can I get the work done?

In accordance with the scheme's Terms and Conditions, Grant Approval must be in place prior to any purchase of materials or commencement of works is undertaken. Since the scheme is not currently open for application you should not undertake any works yet. If you have already done so, then unfortunately you will not be eligible for a grant.

However, the Before BER can be done ahead of Grant Approval and could prove beneficial for homeowners who are uncertain about their options or what to get done first.

Don’t delay pre register your interest and secure your grant
