Home Energy upgrades you can apply for from SEAI
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is encouraging homeowners to upgrade their homes to make them more comfortable, healthier and less costly to run. This is timely advice as households look for ways to address higher energy costs ahead of the next heating season.
With an expanded range of grant supports now available, SEAI is advising homeowners that early research and planning can help them make better decisions, maximise the supports available to them, and ensure upgrades are completed before peak winter demand. Most importantly, they improve comfort and reduce energy bills sooner.
Home Energy upgrades from SEAI
SEAI is encouraging homeowners not to wait until the colder months to consider upgrades, noting that planning, grant applications and contractor availability can take time. By starting now, homeowners can:
Take advantage of current grant supports
Spread the cost and planning of works over time
Ensure upgrades are completed before peak winter demand
Improve comfort and reduce energy bills sooner
In the first three months of 2026, SEAI supported 12,300 home energy upgrades through Government-funded grant schemes. And so far, this year there has been a record 25,000 grant applications processed after enhanced SEAI supports were announced earlier this year.
CEO of SEAI, William Walsh, said: “At a time when energy costs are a concern for many households, SEAI is here to help. With our new and expanded grant options, you can reduce your homes reliance on fossil fuels and get the benefits of a warmer and healthier house. Grant support is available for windows and doors, attic and wall insulation, heat pumps, and solar panels as well as fully funded energy upgrades under the Warmer Homes scheme.
There has never been a better time to retrofit your home. Whether you’re planning to take it step by step, or to do a complete home energy upgrade, SEAI has a grant that will help you on your journey, reduce energy bills and increase comfort. “
SEAI’s promotion of home energy upgrade grants from SEAI coincides with the Government campaign highlighting supports and advice available for those looking to save energy and save money.
