As from June 8th 2010, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has introduced new measures to the Home Energy Saving Scheme.
Since the scheme was launched in March 2009 over 58,000 homeowner applications were approved.
The introduction of an online self survey is now available on the SEAI’s website; the survey will only take a couple of minutes to complete and will guide householders towards the most suitable upgrade works.
Householders who apply for the HES grant on or after Tuesday 8th June will be required to use the new application system/form. A Building Energy Rating (BER) will also become an integral part of all grant applications under the HES Scheme from this date. All homeowners must undertake a BER to measure the impact of the works undertaken. Homeowners will also receive a BER certificate with an A-G performance rating, which will inform them of the effectiveness of the upgrade works of energy & Co₂ improvements. Grant Aid of €100 is available towards BER Assessment.
So who can apply? Well same rules apply as before. All homeowners of dwellings built prior to 2006 are eligible to apply for the HES grant. Landlords & owners of multiple properties may also apply.
