The Home Energy Saving (HES) scheme provides grant funding to homeowners who are interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home in order to reduce energy use, costs and greenhouse gas emissions. It is a national scheme and is thus open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006. The scheme is administered by Sustainable Energy Ireland and its agents.
Assistance will be provided by the payment of fixed grants towards the costs of implementing home improvement measures. The types of measures eligible under this scheme are roof insulation, wall insulation, heating controls and new boiler. There is also a grant for households who choose to get a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment Before and After the works are completed.

* Please note that
while you are entitled to apply for each Measure there is a minimum requirement
that the grant amount in the first application must be €500 or greater. The BER
grant cannot form part of this €500 amount.
Therefore an applicant may have to go for two measures to comply with the grant.
( eg. attic insulation and cavity wall insulation; or roof insulation and heating controls.
)
