Deep Retrofit 2023: Show me the money, how to pay for it all

Deep Retrofit 2023: A guide to grants and financing options for energy improvements to your home, with Kya deLongchamps

Home owners can access a great selection of grants through the SEAI to make improving your home's energy efficiency more affordable, covering 30% to 70% depending on the retrofitting work you choose to do. 

Financing options for energy improvements include a combination of SEAI grant-aid (covering 30% to 70% of the work excluding any associated builders’ costs), savings, re-mortgaging (including green mortgage products), and green-loan mechanisms with a low-interest rate over three to five years from a credit union, building society, an Post or a bank.

With the One Stop Shop, your grant aid is awarded to your supplier. For independent grant aid, it is retroactive, paid to you – following commissioning and in most cases a BER.
