View answerThe Warmer Homes Scheme, which is part of Sustainable Energy Ireland's Low Income Housing Programme, aims to improve the energy efficiency and comfort conditions of homes occupied by low-income households. The scheme provides funding to community-based organisations for the installation of energy efficiency measures including attic insulation, draught proofing, hot water cylinder insulation and wall cavity insulation (in some areas), in homes in their respective localities. The scheme is intended to benefit those who need it most and the eligibility criteria varies from region to region, depending on the target group of the community organisation in question. Further information is available directly from Sustainable Energy Ireland.
