**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.
