Are you on a state pension, fuel allowance, or qualifying social welfare payment? You could be entitled to 100% fully funded home insulation, heat pump, solar PV, and window upgrades paid entirely by the Irish Government.
Tap the 3 quick questions below. Our system checks statutory SEAI & Department of Social Protection rules in real time.
SEAI assigns an official registered surveyor who inspects your home and decides the tailored package of works needed. All works are completed by verified contractors with zero out-of-pocket charges.
Depending on your wall type, SEAI contractors will pump bead cavity insulation or install external wall insulation (wrap) with breathable modern render. Stops up to 35% of heat escaping.
300mm premium insulation rolled across your attic floor, insulated walkway, cold water tank lagging jacket, pipe insulation, and draught-proof insulated loft hatch.
Replacement of old, inefficient oil or gas boilers with a high-efficiency Air-to-Water Heat Pump, new radiators where required, and smart digital thermostatic timers.
Where recommended by the surveyor, roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels are installed to generate free daytime electricity for your lighting, appliances, and hot water.
Replacement of draughty single-glazed windows and leaky external doors with high-security, A-rated double or triple glazing where wall insulation is being installed.
Independent SEAI registered BER assessors survey your home before any works begin and produce an official updated BER certificate once works are completed.
Under official SEAI statutory rules, the Warmer Homes Scheme is 100% funded by the Irish State. You should NEVER pay an application fee, survey fee, or cash deposit to anyone claiming to represent the scheme.
You will need: (a) Your Department of Social Protection (DSP) allowance letter or Fuel Allowance receipt slip, (b) proof of ownership (such as a recent Local Property Tax LPT statement), and (c) a recent electricity bill showing your MPRN.
Download the official 4-page SEAI Warmer Homes Scheme Application Form or submit via SEAI’s online portal. If applying on paper, your local Intreo/Social Welfare office can stamp section 3 to confirm your payment.
SEAI reviews your documents and assigns an official energy surveyor to visit your home. The surveyor conducts a full technical assessment and drafts the works order.
SEAI sends you a detailed schedule of the free works approved for your home (e.g., wrap insulation, heat pump, attic, solar). You review and sign to confirm approval.
An SEAI registered installer contacts you to schedule the installation. Works are carried out cleanly and professionally with €0 billed to you.
An independent assessor completes a post-works quality audit and registers your new A or B BER energy rating on the national SEAI register.
You can download the official application pack directly from SEAI or contact their dedicated Free Energy Upgrades department.
