Are you considering home improvements, energy upgrades, or looking for ways to reduce your heating bills? A Home Energy Assessment (HEA) is the essential first step to understanding your home’s current energy performance and unlocking available SEAI grants to future-proof your property.

A Home Energy Assessment, also known as a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment, is a detailed inspection carried out by a qualified BER assessor. The report outlines your home’s current energy efficiency and includes a customised roadmap to achieve a B2 BER rating or better — the standard required to qualify for most SEAI One Stop Shop (OSS) grants.

Whether you’re planning a full retrofit or just want to understand how your home performs, an HEA offers invaluable insights:

• Clarity & Planning: Understand where your home is losing energy and what upgrades will offer the best return.

• Grant Eligibility: The HEA forms the basis for SEAI grant applications and ensures your project aligns with national standards.

• Cost Estimates: Receive a clear breakdown of potential upgrade costs, timelines, and savings.

• Property Value: Improving your BER can enhance your home’s market value and appeal.

• Comfort & Health: An energy-efficient home is warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and healthier to live in.

With the support of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), homeowners can access a range of grants for measures such as:

• Attic and wall insulation
• Window and door upgrades
• Heat pump systems
• Mechanical ventilation
• Solar PV systems

Most importantly, your HEA will highlight which of these are applicable to your own home and what level of grant funding is available.

If additional funding is required beyond the SEAI grant, we can guide you toward Green Loan providers and flexible finance options to support your retrofit journey.

Our experienced team will walk you through the entire process ,  from the initial HEA to grant application and project completion.
