*Cash Grants are set value unless expenditure is below the set value, in which case the actual expenditure will be reimbursed.
**A Building Energy Rating (BER) is an integral part of all grant
applications under the Better Energy Homes scheme, whereby homeowners
must undertake a
BER on their home after grant aided works have been completed. A
homeowner is entitled to BER funding of €50 once per home. This funding
will be applied to
your grant application automatically provided you have never applied
previously for BER funding. You will be informed during the online grant
application process
if BER funding is available for your home or as part of your Letter of
Grant Offer if you have applied through the post. It is advisable that
you apply for and undertake
all planned grant aided works at the same time to minimise the costs of multiple BER assessments.
*** Note. Internal and external wall insulation grants
will no longer be one single amount, but rather be based upon the house
type.
