Terms of Service

Last updated 17 October 2026

These terms apply when you use HomeGrants.ie to get your grant plan or to ask for a quote from a contractor. By using the site you agree to them.

Who we are

HomeGrants.ie is an independent home-grants information and contractor-matching service based in Ireland, run by Kinane Labs Limited, a private company limited by shares, registered in Ireland, company no. 822486, with its registered office at The Black Church, St. Mary’s Place, Dublin 7, D07 P4AX. These terms are between you and Kinane Labs Limited (“we” and “us” in these terms). Contact: info@homegrants.ie.

What we provide

HomeGrants.ie is an independent service. We are not SEAI, the Government of Ireland, a local authority, or any grant body, and we are not affiliated with them. We do two things:

• a free grant plan that brings together publicly available scheme information and your answers to show which Irish home-energy grants may be open to a home like yours, with indicative amounts and an estimate of what the work would leave you paying; and
• a free introduction service that passes your request to one contractor on the public SEAI register who covers your county for the upgrade you asked about.

The grant plan is built from the answers you give and published data for homes in your area. It is not a check of your specific home or Eircode — we do not verify your individual eligibility, and no one can confirm your eligibility on your behalf. You confirm your own eligibility directly with SEAI, using your home’s MPRN.

Optional Google Maps features

If you choose to use the homepage map, you also agree to the Google Terms of Service and the Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service. The map locates an Eircode; it is not a survey, a current image of your home or a confirmation of grant eligibility. You can use your county or continue without a map. Our Privacy notice explains the information sent to Google, whose Privacy Policy applies to its services.

Estimates, not guarantees

• All grant amounts, cost estimates, eligibility statements and figures are estimates based on current published scheme rates, typical market costs and the answers you provide. They are not an offer of funding, not a quote, and not a guarantee that any grant will be approved.
• Costs shown are indicative and before survey. Only a contractor who has inspected your home can give you a real price.
• Grant rules and amounts change. You must confirm current rules and your eligibility with the official scheme (e.g. SEAI) and your local authority before relying on any amount or starting any work.
• Whether a grant is paid is decided solely by SEAI / the relevant authority, not by us.

Cost to you, and how we are paid

• The grant plan and the contractor introduction are free to homeowners. We do not ask you for payment at any point.
• We are paid by contractors, not by homeowners. That is how the service is funded, and it does not change which grants you are shown or the figures attached to them.

Asking for a quote

• When you ask for a quote you are asking us to pass your name, mobile number, home details (including your Eircode, if you gave it) and plan to one contractor so they can contact you. Exactly what is shared is set out in our Privacy notice.
• We pass your request to one SEAI-registered contractor covering your county for the upgrade you chose. We do not sell your details to anyone else, and we do not pass them to contractors outside that match.
• You are under no obligation to accept a quote, arrange a survey, or proceed with any work.
• We may also WhatsApp you after we pass on your request, to ask how it went. Tell us if you’d rather we didn’t.
• You can ask us to stop at any time by emailing info@homegrants.ie. We will remove your details, though we cannot recall a request already passed to a contractor — you can ask that contractor directly to erase your details.

About the contractors

• We check that a contractor appears on the relevant public SEAI register for the work and covers your county. We do not employ, supervise, vet, endorse or guarantee them, and appearing on an SEAI register is not an endorsement by SEAI either.
• Any contract for work is between you and the contractor. We are not a party to it. Pricing, workmanship, timescales, warranties, insurance and grant paperwork are matters between you and them.
• Get more than one quote, get it in writing, and check the contractor is registered for the specific measure before work starts. Grant approval must be in place before any work begins, or the grant can be refused. SEAI publishes an exception for windows and doors ordered or started since the Government’s announcement on 27 January 2026: you can still apply if you meet the scheme’s rules and use a registered contractor.

Your responsibilities

• Give accurate answers and accurate contact details — the match, and what a contractor is told before they ring, depend on them.
• Only submit a request for a property you own or are authorised to act for.
• Do not misuse the site (for example automated scraping, submitting false requests, or interfering with the service).

Intellectual property

The site, its text, data compilations and designs are owned by us or our licensors.

Liability

We provide this service with reasonable care, but to the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for decisions you make based on the information shown, for grant applications that are refused, for the acts or omissions of any contractor, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction. This does not deprive you of any protection of mandatory consumer law in your place of residence.

Changes

We may update these terms; the version in force is the one published here when you use the service. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.

We stopped selling grant reports in July 2026. A report bought before then stays covered by the terms in force when you bought it; see What it costs if you need to contact us about one.
