Home grant finder
Start with when your home was built and occupied, whether you own it, your income or welfare payments, and what you want to do. Each scheme has further conditions. Find your situation below.
Quick answer: Your home’s age narrows the SEAI grants to check; it does not confirm eligibility. For homes built and occupied before 2011, check insulation, windows and doors, and heating controls. Before 2021 is the published heat-pump cutoff; before 2025 applies to solar PV, batteries and solar water heating. Each scheme has further conditions. For Warmer Homes, you must own and live in your main residence, built and occupied before 2006, receive a qualifying payment and have suitable surveyed work. Empty homes, older people and people with a disability have separate local authority schemes.

| Before 2006 | Also check the free Warmer Homes Scheme: owner-occupation, a qualifying payment and survey suitability apply. |
|---|---|
| Before 2011 | Check attic, wall insulation, windows and doors, heating controls and One Stop Shop upgrades |
| Before 2021 | Check the heat pump grant and the solar grants below |
| 2021 to 2024 | Check solar PV, the home battery grant and solar water heating; this age range meets their published age limits, but other conditions apply. |
| 2025 or later | These homes do not meet the published age limits for the SEAI energy schemes listed here. See other home grants. |
Age is a starting point. Check the windows insulation rule, heat-pump assessment requirements and solar eligibility and previous funding, as relevant. Each application must meet its scheme’s conditions.
| Your situation | Grants to look at |
|---|---|
| I own and live in my home | Start with the grants for your home’s age, then check the work, previous funding and scheme conditions. See the SEAI grant guides. |
| I bought my first home on or after 1 January 2025 | You may qualify for the higher attic grant: up to €2,500 (existing home built and occupied by 31 December 2010). |
| I get Fuel Allowance or another qualifying payment | Check Warmer Homes for your owner-occupied main residence, built and occupied before 2006; a qualifying payment and suitable survey are required. Separately, enhanced individual grants include higher attic and cavity wall grants and, since 6 October 2026, up to €9,000 for solar panels with a battery, subject to their own scheme conditions. |
| I’m a landlord | SEAI individual grants are open to private and commercial landlords. Warmer Homes is for owner-occupiers only. |
| I rent my home | Your landlord applies for SEAI grants. You may get an adaptation grant with your landlord’s permission. |
| I’m 66 or over and my home needs repairs | Housing Aid for Older People: up to €10,700, means-tested. |
| Someone in my home has a disability | The Housing Adaptation Grant (up to €40,000) or the Mobility Aids Grant (up to €8,000). |
| I’m buying or renovating an empty house | The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant: up to €50,000, or €70,000 if derelict (vacant 2+ years, built before 2008). |
| My home is an old stone or solid-wall house | Check the construction first: not every solid-wall home uses the traditional route. For traditional wall work, see the Traditional Homes Pilot conditions. Other individual grants have their own requirements. |
| I want to do everything at once | A One Stop Shop manages a whole-home upgrade with grants off the price. The standard route targets B; traditional homes have separate Traditional Homes Pilot conditions. |
Heat-pump age conflict: SEAI’s landlord page says before 2025; its heat-pump page says before 2021. Landlords with a 2021–2024 home should confirm the rule with SEAI.
Explore the home in 3D and select the upgrade you want to understand.
Check my grantsAsk for previous grant and installation records, including work arranged by an earlier owner. Buying the home does not establish a fresh grant entitlement.
If the history is unclear, SEAI’s application guide says to contact its helpdesk or a participating One Stop Shop with the home’s MPRN. Ask them to confirm the proposed measure before counting on an award.
A BER describes energy performance; it does not confirm unused grant entitlement. Check BER contribution conditions separately.
SEAI application timing checked . See the windows and doors timing guidance and official sources. Other grant rules retain this guide’s existing review dates.
Your home in 3D
Select an upgrade on the 3D home to see grant options, conditions and typical costs. Compare the work you are considering, then request a quote when you are ready. You can explore without a BER report or contact details.
Start with the year your home was built and occupied, then check the conditions for the upgrade you want. Age and ownership alone do not confirm eligibility: previous funding, technical requirements and any conditions for enhanced support also matter. Use the previous-funding checkpoint if the home’s grant history is unclear, or explore the upgrades and conditions on our 3D home without needing a BER report first.
Homes built and occupied from 2021 to 2024 meet the published age limits for solar PV, home battery and solar water heating grants. The owner must still meet the relevant scheme conditions, including any previous-funding restrictions, and obtain approval before starting. Homes built and occupied from 2025 do not meet the published age cutoffs for the SEAI energy schemes listed here.
SEAI grants are applied for by the owner, so your landlord would apply. You may be able to get an adaptation grant with your landlord’s permission.
Warmer Homes may fund suitable surveyed upgrades to your owner-occupied main residence, built and occupied before 2006, if you receive a qualifying payment. Adaptation and repair grants may cover up to 100% of approved eligible costs, within each scheme’s grant limit, for household income up to €37,500 after applicable disregards and deductions. Your local authority decides eligibility and the approved amount.
HomeGrants helps you understand the options. Our 3D home explorer shows attic and wall insulation, windows and doors, heat pumps and solar panels, with grant conditions and typical costs. You can request a quote for the work you choose. The explorer does not approve a grant: your contractor checks the proposed work and SEAI decides eligibility.
The full source review remains . SEAI application timing, scheme age limits and ownership qualifiers were checked on ; see the timing guidance above and the unresolved landlord heat-pump age difference. Previous-funding checks and the unclear-history next step were checked against SEAI’s measure pages and Homeowner Application Guide on the same date. The council-grant FAQ’s inclusive €37,500 income threshold and approved-cost limits were checked against the national application form and regulations on the same date. The Traditional Homes Pilot route and its BER exception were checked on . Other grant amounts and council conditions retain their earlier review dates.
