BIG NEWS ON HOME ENERGY GRANTS!
The Government and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland have announced major increases to SEAI grants, making it more affordable to upgrade your home from February and March 2026.
Here is what’s changing:
From 3 February 2026
• Higher grants for attic and cavity wall insulation
• Heat pump grants increasing to up to €12,500
• A new high temperature heat pump pilot
From 4 March 2026
• New grants for windows and doors
• Higher insulation grants for first-time buyers
• Higher grants for people receiving certain welfare payments
• Easier qualification for heat pumps under the One Stop Shop scheme
In simple terms, more support is now available and some of the previous barriers are being removed.
If you were thinking about insulating, changing windows, or installing a heat pump but felt the numbers didn’t quite stack up before, it may be worth revisiting.
