FENNOR / RETROFIT GRANTS

Start with your home.
Make sense of the support.

You do not need to choose a grant scheme before you call. Fennor starts with the improvements you want, explains the routes that may apply and helps you understand the steps before work begins.

Retrofit grants and funding in Ireland — architectural design concept
THOUGHTFULLY PLANNED. BETTER CONNECTED.

FUNDING FOLLOWS YOUR PLAN

Three measures.
A clearer next step.

Unsure which individual grant fits the work you have in mind? Fennor explains the relevant measure, evidence, payment timing and registered roles alongside the improvements we can cover. You can understand the budget and next application step without treating a headline as an award.

Discuss your upgrade and individual grants
MEASURE 01

Plan the heating and the support together.

For an eligible heat-pump project, support may include separate system, heating-upgrade and scrappage components. We show which components relate to the work proposed for your home.

Who is involved?
Fennor brings your existing heating, home assessment and proposed system into one explanation. We identify the registered delivery roles and the work included in our proposal.
How does funding work?
The individual grant is claimed after the eligible installation, post-works BER and required documents are complete. The written SEAI offer determines the award.
What do we check first?
We explain the home-age and MPRN requirements, technical-assessment or self-declaration route, existing-heating checks and approval sequence before work is agreed.
Talk through your plans with Fennor

This guide does not establish eligibility or award a grant. Fennor explains the current individual-grant conditions, proposed work and required roles before you commit. Read the official measure conditions.

Current SEAI individual-grant conditions

UNDERSTAND THE TIMING WITH FENNOR

The offer.
Then the work.

We set out the application sequence and responsibilities for the relevant individual grant before work is agreed. The measure still needs eligible work and the appropriate registered contractor; starting early can put support at risk.

  1. Your homeWe explain how the built/occupied date, ownership, MPRN and previous grants affect the measure.
  2. Your budgetYour proposed price, conditional support, exclusions and payment timing are explained separately.
  3. Your next stepsYou know the assessment and application steps, the offer deadline and who handles each part of the completion evidence.

YOUR PROJECT WITH FENNOR

Your plans first.
The support that may fit.

We explain the choices, the work involved and what happens next, so you can decide with a clearer picture.

01

For improvements made in stages.

We explain which individual grants relate to your planned work and what information the application needs. You make the application and appoint the contractors; we explain the work Fennor would handle, any required registered specialists and the paperwork for your claim.

02

For connected improvements.

We bring insulation, windows, heating and ventilation decisions into one Fennor plan, even when the work is phased. Each individual grant keeps its own conditions, application and registered-delivery requirements; your proposal shows what Fennor can cover.

03

For a budget you can rely on.

We separate the proposed cost, possible individual support and work that is not grant-funded. Approval must be in place before eligible work starts, and the written offer—not a headline amount—sets the support for your home.

A SIMPLE START

You do not need every answer.

Reviewed · Guidance, not an eligibility decision.

Grant support

Heat-pump system for your home

Up to €14,500

The eligible house maximum includes the system, necessary heating upgrades and qualifying scrappage. It is not a flat payment for every installation.

Conditions & official guidance
Heat-pump system — house
Up to €10,500
Necessary central-heating upgrades — house
Up to €2,000
Qualifying scrappage
€2,000
Combined apartment maximum
Up to €11,500
  • Home built and occupied before 2021, with an MPRN. Applies to eligible air-to-water, ground-source, exhaust-air-to-water and water-to-water systems; air-to-air has a different ceiling.
  • Scrappage covers qualifying oil, gas, solid-fuel or electric-storage heating replacement; SEAI also includes eligible homes without central heating. The installation design determines each component.
  • Grant approval must precede work. Payment cannot exceed eligible cost; a post-works BER and completion documents are required. Existing-heat-pump replacement follows a separate route.

Standard grants vary by home type. Certain households can receive the enhanced rate below instead.

Conditions & official guidance
Detached

Enhanced attic insulation

Up to €2,500

Higher attic support for qualifying welfare recipients, eligible HAP/RAS homes and qualifying first-time buyers of existing homes.

Grant support

Cavity-wall insulation

Up to €1,800

Standard support depends on dwelling type and whether the walls are suitable for a complete cavity-insulation solution.

€1,300
Mid-terrace
€850
Apartment

Grant support

Energy-efficient replacement windows

Up to €4,000

Support depends on your dwelling type, the existing windows and the home’s insulation performance—not just the specification of the new glass.

€4,000
Semi-detached / end-terrace
€3,000
Mid-terrace
€1,800
Apartment

  • Home built and occupied before 2011. Required performance is post-works HLI at or below 2.3, or attic and walls assessed Good or Very Good, alongside scheme window standards.
  • You do not necessarily have to replace every window, but the grant is paid once per property. Ventilation and escape requirements still apply.
  • For a new project, secure approval before ordering or starting. If work was already ordered or started, ask about SEAI’s specific transitional provisions rather than assuming eligibility.

Energy-efficient external doors

Up to €1,600

€800 per eligible external replacement door, up to two doors, subject to the property and performance requirements.

Conditions & official guidance

Grant support

Heating controls

€700

Support to improve control of an existing heating system. A separate €50 contribution towards the required post-works BER may also apply.

Conditions & official guidance
  • Home built and occupied before 2011, with a valid MPRN. Approval must precede work and the eligible controls upgrade must be completed by a contractor registered with SEAI for this measure.
  • Not available if you are applying for, or have already received, a heat-pump-system grant. Fennor confirms the registered delivery role before presenting this support as part of your proposal.

Grant support

Solar thermal hot-water system

€1,200

This supports eligible solar-thermal collectors that heat water. It is not the grant for solar PV or an EDDI diverter.

Conditions & official guidance
  • Home built and occupied before 2025; system sizing, registered installation, prior-grant and approval requirements apply.
  • If your interest is an EDDI connected to solar PV, we explain that different technology and its cost separately.

Grant support

Post-works BER support

€50 standard support

A contribution towards the required post-works BER for applicable individual-grant upgrades. Qualifying welfare applicants may receive €280 instead.

Conditions & official guidance
  • Support is tied to the eligible grant works and required assessment; it is not a general payment for obtaining any BER.
  • The enhanced €280 route has separate welfare and application conditions. We explain the assessment cost and which support applies without adding both rates.

USEFUL ANSWERS

Funding your upgrade.
A clearer way forward.

Plain language. No pressure to have it all figured out.

01

Can Fennor help me decide where to begin?

Yes. Tell us what you want to improve and about any application already underway. We explain the relevant assessment, likely project steps and which funding conditions need to be checked for your home.

02

Can different grants pay for the same work?

The same cost cannot simply be funded twice. We review the support you already have and explain which scheme rules need confirmation before it is included in the project budget.

03

Can Fennor coordinate several grant-supported improvements?

We can plan the work we cover as one connected project and explain the individual-grant sequence. Your proposal identifies each application, required registered role, approval point and item outside Fennor’s scope before you decide.
