210. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if the grant for smart heating controls is reduced based on the BER rating of the dwelling; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51877/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government has not made any changes to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) grant for heating controls, available under the Better Energy Homes Scheme. Heating control grants are available to all homeowners, including landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2011. Summary performance requirements are available from the SEAI website at Homeowner-Application-Guide.pdf (seai.ie). Homeowners must undertake a Building Energy Rating (BER) on their home after grant aided works have been completed. The grants for heating controls and BER are €700 and €50, respectively.
