The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) administers a range of grant schemes to support homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Grants of up to 50% are now available for individuals who can afford to contribute to the cost of upgrades as well as free energy efficiency retrofits for people at risk of energy poverty. A total of €267 million in capital funding has been provided this year for SEAI residential and community schemes. The upgrades that are recommended for any given property depend on many factors including age, size, type and condition of the property. Based on the cost data linked to the National Home Retrofit One Stop Shop Development call, the average cost of a retrofit to a building energy rating of B2 which does not involve a heat pump is in the order of €30,200. The range of costs vary from €13,000 to €52,000.
