SEAI Grants

Better Energy Homes Scheme

Better Energy Homes is a Government scheme which gives fixed cash grants for insulation and heating system upgrades, helping to make your home more comfortable and cheaper to run. It is available to all owners of homes built before 2006.

In March 2015 higher grant values and bonus payments were introduced and the scheme is now available for previous applicants to get additionalworks completed.

Over 160,000 homes across Ireland have received grants through BEH to date.

The objectives of the scheme are to:

  • Support homeowners in making intelligent choices to improve the energy performance of their home
  • Reduce energy use, costs and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Build market capacity and competence by driving contractor standards and quality
  • Stimulating market innovation

The incentive is in the form of a Cash Grant. Cash grants are fixed, irrespective of home size, though where actual expenditure is lower than the grant value only the lower amount will be paid. Payment is by Electronic Funds Transfer to the applicant’s bank.

Our clients say...

Ryan Building Contractors undertook a renovation project for me in early 2015. The work that they carried out was of a very high standard and was completed within the 3 months time frame they had given me. Not only was I impressed by the quality of their work but also the fact they offered me advice about changes throughout the build and were always obliging when I wanted to make changes. Since the building was completed I have had nothing but compliments from passers by on how wonderful has been from what was an office building to a family home. This is testament to the professionalism of Ryan Building Contractors and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone to complete a high quality, professional and reliable building project.
