Government Grants for Insulation

The Irish Government have recently committed to providing €100 million of grants of towards the cost of home insulation. For homeowners this will mean a contribution of up to 30% (€2,500 - €4,000).

Announcing the scheme, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources explained that the new measures could lead to heating bill reductions of about €700 per annum for individual households.

With the EU targets of reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 20% over the next twelve years, Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are warning that the country is facing a major challenge in living up to its Kyoto Protocol commitments. Climate change is one of the major challenges facing the world today, and Ireland's strategy is to achieve its targets through a reduction in dependency on fossil fuels, and increase in renewable energy and energy conservation measures such as insulation.

The Home Energy Saving Scheme (HES) is a grant aid covering Insulation, Heating System Controls and Double Glazing. The process of securing a grant has four steps, and Complete Insulation can help you from start to finish.
