What are the Warmer Homes Scheme eligibility requirements for a free home energy upgrade?

A GrantWise Team Answered by

The SEAI Warmer Homes Scheme is generally intended for homeowners on certain qualifying social welfare payments or within specified income limits. The property will usually need to be your main home and meet the scheme’s age and energy-efficiency requirements, such as having a low BER. Other conditions may apply, including limits on previous grant-funded works, and eligibility is assessed using your individual circumstances. Check the current requirements on the SEAI website before applying, as the qualifying payments and rules can change.
