The government have announced today
Grants of more than €25,000 will be offered to individual householders to help pay for deep retrofits of their homes as part of the biggest home insulation scheme ever offered in the State.
The Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan has announced details on of the new Home Energy Upgrade Scheme for private homes that will cover close to half the cost 45-51% of a deep retrofit that would improve home energy efficiency to a high B2 rating.
Senior sources in government have confirmed that under Mr Ryan’s flagship programme, sizeable grants will be available to qualifying homes.
The State will, for example, contribute €26,000 of the €53,000 cost of deep-retrofitting works on an average hollow block semi-detached home with an E2 rating.
Bringing the rating from E to B would reduce the heating bills by as much as two-thirds, leading to substantial savings each year.
There'll also be a network of 'one stop shops' , something Green Party Senator Pauline O'Reilly says will make the process much simpler.
