How does the external wall insulation grant work and who may qualify for support?

A GrantWise Team Answered by

SEAI may provide support towards external wall insulation, often called an external insulation or wrap system, as part of a home energy upgrade. Eligibility and the available grant level can depend on factors such as your home’s age, existing insulation, property type and the overall upgrade plan. You generally need to apply through the appropriate SEAI process before work begins and use an SEAI-registered contractor where required. Check the latest details on the official SEAI website and ask a registered contractor to assess your home, as SEAI makes the final decision on eligibility and grant approval.
