Grants offered are provided by the Government of Ireland through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI)
What’s Involved in the HEA Assessment?
During the HEA, we check:
- Insulation levels in walls, roof, and floor
- Windows and doors
- Heating systems and controls
- Ventilation Renewable energy sources (if any)
From this, you’ll receive a Building Energy Rating (BER) and a personalised retrofit roadmap showing how your home can reach a B2 BER rating or better. Achieving this standard is essential to qualify for SEAI One Stop Shop deep retrofit grants and low-cost green loans.
Why Book a HEA?
Grants & Access to Finance
A valid HEA is required to apply for SEAI grants and green loans through independent lenders like credit unions or banks. Without it, you won’t be eligible for funding.
Clear Retrofit Plan
Your HEA delivers a step-by-step upgrade plan outlining the necessary work, expected energy efficiency improvements, and estimated costs.
Smart Investment
With these insights, you can make informed decisions on how to invest in your home – cutting heating bills while boosting comfort.
Environmental Impact
Improving your home’s energy rating means using less energy, lowering carbon emissions, and making a positive contribution to a greener future.

Your questions answered
Do I need a HEA to get a grant?
Yes, a valid HEA is mandatory for most SEAI grants and green loans.
How do I know if my home is eligible for a Home Energy Assessment with the SEAI One Stop Shop?
- Be built and occupied before 2011
- Have a current Building Energy Rating (BER) of B3 or lower
- Aim to achieve a minimum B2 BER rating upon completion of the retrofit, with at least a 100kWh/m²/year improvement in primary energy use
- Not have previously received grants for the same home energy upgrades
How soon can the assessment be arranged?
We’ll work with you to schedule the assessment at a time that suits you, usually within a couple of weeks.
How long does the HEA Assessment take?
What if I’m not sure about retrofitting yet?
The HEA is a no-obligation first step, designed to give you a full picture of your home’s current energy performance and what’s needed to reach a BER B2 rating. Even if you’re not ready to commit yet, completing your HEA means you’ve already ticked off a mandatory requirement for many SEAI grants and for accessing low-cost green loans. So, should you decide to go ahead with a retrofit later, you’ll already have this crucial step done, saving you time and helping you move forward faster.
